6. Operating Instructions

The BEVA GPS Survey Equipment offers various measurement modes for different applications.

6.1 Area Measurement

There are two primary methods for area measurement:

6.1.1 Auto-Track Area Measurement

This method is suitable for measuring irregular or complex areas by walking or driving the perimeter.

1. From the main menu, select [Area Measured].
2. Choose "Auto-track Area".
3. Press [OK] to start tracking.
4. Walk or drive along the boundary of the area you wish to measure. Ensure a clear line of sight to the sky for optimal GPS signal.
5. Once you have completed the perimeter, press [OK] again to stop tracking. The device will automatically calculate and display the area.

6.1.2 Collected Points Area Measurement

This method is ideal for measuring regular or polygonal areas by marking specific points.

1. From the main menu, select [Area Measured].
2. Choose "Collected Points Area".
3. Go to the first corner of the area and press [OK] to mark the point.
4. Move to the next corner and press [OK] to mark subsequent points.
5. After marking all corners, press [OK] again to complete the measurement. The device will calculate the area based on the marked points.

6.2 Length Measurement

The device supports two methods for measuring length:

6.2.1 Auto-Track Distance Measurement

Measure the length of a path or curve by walking or driving along it.

1. From the main menu, select [Length].
2. Choose "Auto-track Dist".
3. Press [OK] to start tracking.
4. Move along the path or curve you want to measure.
5. Press [OK] again to stop tracking. The total length will be displayed.

6.2.2 2 Points Distance Measurement

Measure the straight-line distance between two specific points.

1. From the main menu, select [Length].
2. Choose "2 Points Dist".
3. Go to the first point and press [OK] to mark it.
4. Move to the second point and press [OK] to mark it. The straight-line distance between the two points will be displayed.
