This is a command for total station applications only, in which the elevation of one or more “remote”, but known, points is used to compute the elevation of the occupied Station. Remote Benchmark is the 2nd “tab” to the right in the Backsight screen.  The main screen is shown in the this figure shown below.

• Read: You have the option to transfer the elevation from a single benchmark by taking a reading on it, any number of times, in any face, or several benchmarks points, any number of times, in any face.

• Results: The readings taken on the benchmark are reported in the Results dialog. All of the readings taken will determine an average instrument point elevation.
• Store: Click Store to update the instrument point elevation. A store point record will be recorded to the raw data file.
