Your use of this program constitutes your acceptance of these
terms.
CONVENTIONS USED IN THIS MANUAL
Keys to be pressed are shown in square brackets.
The left shift key is shown as [<-].
The right shift key is shown as [->].
Menu keys are shown as |item|.
LOADING THE PROGRAM
1. Load the file "DEMOCOG1" into the home directory of the 48.
2. Press [VAR] to display the variable menu.
3. Select |DEMO| to switch to that subdirectory.
The variable menu will now be displayed.
4. Select |GO| from the displayed menu. The 48 will shut its
self off.
5. Turn the 48 on and press [VAR].
6. Select |DEMO| from the menu.
7. Select |INIT| from the menu. The program will then initilize
the variables and install the user key definitions.
The program is now ready to run. The main menu will be
displayed as follows:
|'FILE| |'PNTS| |'RSO | |'TRAV| | 'TO | | 'CO | [NXT]
|'UTIL| |'TROT| |'GRDZ| | 'VC | | 'SS | |'CURV| [NXT]
|'AREA|
Pressing [CST] from any point in the program will always bring
you back to the main menu.
(Note: You have to create a file before using any of the file
related functions.)
CONVENTIONS USED IN THIS PROGRAM
You will notice that certain menu items are preceded by a tick
(') mark. This indicates that another menu will be brought up
and no input is required. Menu items with no tick mark require a
value on the stack prior to selection.
POINT PROTECTION
If you try to create a new point with an existing point number
the 48 will beep and display this screen:
_________________________
|Pt n used |
| |
|(Enter start number |
|for unused search.) |
| |
| |
_________________________
|OK|NEW|NEXU|QUIT| |
| OK | Select this to hold the point number and overwrite
the old point.
|NEW | Enter a new number.
|NEXU| Enter number to start search from. The next unused
point will be displayed. Press | OK | to accept this number.
|QUIT| Select this to abort the program.
FILE UTILITIES
The size and number of files are limited only by available memory.
File names MUST start with an alpha character.
Files contain point number, northing, easting, elevation, and
description.
When a file is created it will contain one point, point number
one with a northing and easting of 5000, an elevation of 100
and no description. The file will grow as points are added and
shrink if points are deleted.
The file format is comma delimited ASCII. PC files in this
format may be uploaded to the 48 and used directly. Conversely
48 files may be downloaded and used by a PC program that
accepts this format.
From the main menu select |'FILE|. The current
file and the file utility menu will be displayed.
|'PICK| This is used to select your working file.
The files will be listed as menu items.
Select a file and press [ENTER].
|'DEL| This is used to delete files. The files will
be listed as menu items. Select a file and press
[ENTER].
|'NEW| This is used to create new files. POINT UTILITIES
There are no restrictions to the numbering of points.
In fact points may be given names. There is no limit to the
length of a point description.
Select |'PNTS| from the main menu. The points menu
will be displayed.

|CL UP| Enter a centerline point and a centerline point
upstation of the first point. The bearing and
distance between these points is displayed.

|SLOPE| The program will calculate the slope between the two
given centerline points using their stored elevations.
You may override this by entering a new slope.

curb grade. The program will apply this factor to
the grade it calculates for the offset points
generated.
Generate points menu:
|STA | Enter a station.
| OS | Enter an offset distance.(Negative if left.)
|GRD | The program calculates and displays a grade for the
given station. You may override this by entering a

|STOR| Select this when the displayed data is correct to
generate and store the point.
[NXT] |P->SO| Entering a point number will return the station

|ANG | Suppose your line staking a property line, from
a traverse point. Your at point 3, backsighting
point 4 and have defined this setup in the radial
stakeout program. The property line is from 1 to
2 and you have defined this setup in the tangent
offset program. Turn an angle that intersects the
property line where you want to set a line point
and enter the angle. The program will return the
station intersected at that angle. You may then
store the point and go to the radial program.
|RSO | This will take you to the radial stakeout program
without going through the setup routine. Useful
in the last example or if your calculating offsets
as you stake them.
CURVE OFFSET
This is the same as the tangent offset program except
that you enter a point an the centerline, the radius point
and if the curve is left or right.

in level 1.
|D->R| Converts degrees to radians.
|R->D| Converts radians to degrees.
