Obtains details for a given observation, including the source instrument, azimuth/elevation/distance (for spherical measurement devices), and the status for the observation (active vs. inactive).
0 |
Point Name |
Point Name |
The name of the point to examine |
1 |
Integer |
Observation Index |
The index of the observation to examine. Index 0 is the first observation for the target, Index 1 is the second, etc. |
2 |
Collection Instrument ID |
Resulting Instrument |
The instrument that obtained the observation. |
3 |
Vector |
Resultant Vector |
The distance, azimuth, and elevation of the obser- vation (in that order).** |
4 |
Boolean |
Active? |
Indicates whether the observation is active. |
5 |
String |
Timestamp |
Indicates measurement time accurate to seconds. |
6 |
Double |
RMS Error |
RMS error of observation. |
7 |
Double |
Temperature (degF) |
Temperature from observation info data |
8 |
Double |
Pressure (in. Hg) |
Pressure from observation info data |
9 |
Double |
Humidity (% RH) |
Humidity from observation info data |
10 |
String |
Info Data |
Full info data string from selected observation |
SUCCESS |
The observation information was obtained successfully. |
FAILURE |
The point or observation index could not be found. |
A zero will be returned for the RMS error for those observations that do not have them, while -1 will be returned for temperature/pressure and humidity.
**The theta values returned from this check are raw instrument specific values. For example, a point 15 degrees toward Y from X is reported as either 345 or -15 depending on the instrument (theta or 360-theta). Confirm which value your instrument returns, particularly with Total Stations.
