Close a survey traverse and distribute misclosure
Practice the land-survey traverse order from LS / CST training. Coordinates are not published until angular and linear misclosure are within the spec and the adjustment is run.
- Occupy each station in order.
- Backsight the previous station.
- Foresight the next station.
- Close the traverse onto the starting point or a known control.
- Compute angular misclosure and compare it to the allowed tolerance.
- Compute linear misclosure.
- Compute the relative precision.
- If either fails, resurvey the weak legs before adjusting.
- Distribute the error by the taught rule.
- Publish coordinates only after the adjustment.
