Includes predetermined area by hinge and slide method. * Surveyor's Module Inc.: 48AC Advanced COGO Surveying Card Contains all features of the SMI Standard COGO Card plus: notes and/or codes; angle adjustments including side shots; compass rule adjustment including sideshots; mean reciprocal leveling from both ends of a line; an offset program for road centerline offsets; and the ability to stake a line from a remote point. * Surveyor's Module Inc.: 48CE Civil Engineering Card Includes vertical curves, horizontal curve layout, earthworks, hydrology programs for designing various open channel ditches, and pipe sizes for storm and sanitary sewer. New! * Surveyor's Module Inc.: Construction 1 Card Performs field construction operations with manual or electronic total stations. Does slope staking, cross sectioning, and stake out based on station and offset. Can be used for highways, dams, pipelines, topographic surveys, and much more. All field operations are based on radial stakeout methods. New! * Surveyor's Module Inc.: Construction V Card This card contains all SMI cogo programs plus data collection. Use station and offset or point numbers to set grade stakes, slope stakes, bluetops, center lines, side lines, and boundary points. Permits work with tangents, simple curves, spiral curves, vertical curves, etc. Automatically interpolates super elevations and changes in road width; may contain data for road sections many miles long. Press only one key to obtain slope stake or bluetop data. Comprehensive, yet unbelievably easy to use. * Surveyor's Module Inc.: 48DC Data Collection Pack A complete manual and electronic data collection package containing all of the functions of the advanced COGO card plus: an HP 48SX calculator, training video, tripod mount, environmental case, PC cable, and instrument cable. Electronically collects data from Lietz, Nikon Top Gun, Topcon, Wild, or Zeiss Electronic total Stations. New! * Surveyor's Module Inc.: 48SPC State Plane & UTM Coordinate System Card This card reduces computing time in problems involving State Plane and UTM coordinates, distance, and azimuth. It covers both NAD27 and NAD83 and is valid for all of the U.S. plus Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam. Conversion from state plane to geodetic coordinates and vice versa are provided as well as inverse using either geodetic or state plane coordinates. The UTM coordinates system covers all 60 zones of the world and allows conversion from geodetic to grid coordinates and vice versa as well as inverse to obtain both grid and geodetic distances and azimuths. Geodetic forward and inverse programs cover eight reference ellipsoids, plus additional functions. * Tripod Data Systems: Survey Card A plug-in software card for data collection, stakeout, COGO, and curves. Displays curves graphically. This survey card uses full HP 48SX capability--you move around the screen with cursor keys and use menus and softkeys for quick access to surveying functions. With the 128K RAM card installed, you can collect field data for up to 3000 points, including: Northing, Easting, elevation, and 16 character point descriptors. The infrared interface sends data to printers or to another HP 48SX. The Survey Card provides for direct communications with a variety of RS-232 serial port total stations. * Tripod Data Systems: Coordinate Geometry Card A lower cost alternative to the survey card. This card contains all of the functions of the survey card except: instrument control, raw data input from an instrument, and stakeout routines. Additional software in this card provides triangle solutions and earthwork calculations.
