Station Elevation for control points
so, something ive been doing is setting up a job with GPS by taking two shots really far apart, (scope of site) then setting a point in the middle that i can occupy with the total station which can see the other two GPS shots, holding one of the GPS elevation, and then station elevation my robot to the point in the middle. this reduces the vert deltas i get using GPS ie: usually my GPS shots can be up to .1 delta ,when using the total station and station elevating i can get them much closer together (like.02)
the problem, when you do a station el it only allows me to either discard or store another. so i click store another, but then in my point manager it shows multiple points with the same # and they have diff coords. this worries me bc how do i know which point # is going to be used for station setups next time i occupy ??
can someone please explain what a station elevation really does and what its appropriate use is?
thank you,
cole
