User manual PENTAX BINOCULARS

[. . . ] The operative system is not provided together PowerTopoCE so it must be already present in the device. Knowing the operative system base principles is necessary for a full comprehension of this guide and for a correct use of the program. This is not a guide to operative systems, for which you should refer to device guides or to the numerous publications on the matter. This guide does not intend to give instructions concerning the use of topographic instruments and of computer peripherals. [. . . ] button and, from pull down menu, select the item The tool asks to indicate the points among which to build the line or polyline; it is possible either to indicate the point on screen or to retrieve a topographic point by entering in its name on command line. To stop the drawing press button. 70 The tool asks to indicate the points among which to build the line or polyline; it is possible either to indicate the point on screen or to retrieve a topographic point by entering in its name on command line. How to draw orthogonal polylines To insert a polyline with segments that are orthogonal to each other as to a predefined alignment press the item and, from pull down menu, select the item Polyline Ortho. The tool asks to indicate the two points that form the reference alignment; it is possible either to indicate the points on screen or to retrieve the topographic points by entering in their name on command line. Once the reference alignment has been indicated, the command line will change as follows: The tool asks to indicate the position of the next point as to the first reference point; the next point can be indicated in two ways: Manual and from Graphic. Manual Specify, on command line, the segment length and direction. Direction can be controlled by clicking on button, which can change its status into and if you click on it. the segment is inserted along the direction of the reference alignment. the segment is inserted towards the left of the reference alignment. the segment is inserted towards the right of the reference alignment. Press button to confirm the segment insertion; the tool goes on, allowing to specify the following segments. Graphic The following point can be indicated directly in the graphic window. Select the kind of line from the list or press Linetype button. A window will appear, reporting the list of the different linetypes available. From File pull down menu select the library of the different linetypes to display. Select from the list the linetype desired. 74 Colour: colour associated to layers. To change the colour click on the coloured area and then select the colour from the dialog box now appearing. Layer Visible: specifies whether the entities associated to the layer will be displayed in the graphic window or not. How to modify a layer In order to modify an existing layer select it from layer table and then press Modify button or press Enter button on device keyboard (if available). The same window will appear, where the layer was created; modify data and press confirmation button. How to make a layer current In order to make a layer the current one, select it from layer table and press Current button. The icon will move to the layer selected. How to change the layers visibility In order to change a layer visibility status it is sufficient to select it from the table and then press On/Off button. If the layer was off it will be turned on, if it was on it will be turned off. All On and All Off buttons allow to turn on and turn off all the layers. 75 CAD settings Among the work general settings there are some concerning the graphic CAD and allowing to make entities visible/invisible as well as to check different display parameters. It is possible to have access to CAD settings directly from the graphic window, by pressing button and from pull down menu, by selecting the item CAD Properties. This page mainly allows to set the entities to be displayed in the graphic window. Point name: displays the point name beside the point itself. Point code: displays the point code beside the point itself. [. . . ] Azimuth / Distance: sets the direction of the point to determine as to the second reference point or the distance between the two. Press on scroll button Azimuth / Distance to select the mode desired. By the local menu of input field, both the distance and the direction can be defined by selecting points from the table or from the graphic window; moreover, the local menu allows to retrieve the calculator window. Create point: by activating this option and pressing Calculate button, intersection points are calculated and added to the list of topographic points; otherwise, the tool will display only the coordinates calculated and the position on the map.
