Auto staking lines or points in Mines
| To automatically stake out... | Select... |
|---|---|
| A line at set intervals along the mine backs (ceiling). | Center line |
| A line at set intervals along the mine walls. | Grade line |
| Intersection points between the mine walls and a line defined by two points. | Laser lines |
| Intersection points between the mine wall and laser lines defined at right angles relative to the center line at a defined interval. | Laser lines offset from a center line |
| The intersection point between a mine face and a line. | Project line |
| The intersection point between a mine face and a line defined by two points. | Blast holes |
| Pivot points that have been projected up onto the mine back. | Pivot points |
To blink the laser when storing a point measured with DR, select Instrument / EDM settings and then set the number of times the laser will blink in the Blink laser field.
Tap the Pause button to temporarily halt the auto stake process. Use the Prev and Next softkeys to skip to the previous or next point.
Adding data to the job
You can add line work to the job from a DXF or STR (Surpac) file.
Points can be imported into the job, linked to the current job, or imported into another job and that job linked to the current job. Use the Jobs / Import option to import points. Depending on the features you want to stake, the points in the job must meet the following criteria:
- Pivot points must be identified by either a prefix or suffix in their point name.
- Laser line points must be matched pairs of points defined using their point names. A point must have a prefix or suffix to identify it as the left or the right hand end of the line. The remainder of the point name must be identical for a match pair to be found. For example, if the Left points prefix is L and the Right points prefix is R, then the following points would be identified as matched pairs: L1–R1, L15–R15, L101–R101, etc.
- Blast hole points must be matched pairs of points defined using their point names. A point must have a prefix or suffix to identify it as the blast hole collar or toe. The remainder of the point name must be identical for a match pair to be found. For example, if the collar points suffix is C and the toe points suffix is T, then the following points would be identified as matched pairs: 1C–1T, 15C–15T, A1C–A1T, etc.
