(15) Key in starting elevation and press
(16) Trace boundary line of contour loop with dot in lens tracing assembly.
Stop when you reach starting point.
(17) Press and hold down remote tracer switch to activate PRINT command.
NOTE
calculator will print the following information after the first measurement:
*** Elevation
Additional measurements will provide values for intermediate volume and
total volume.
0.00 Area of contour loop
0.00 Intermediate volume in cubic yards
0.00 Total volume in cubic yards
(18) Press and hold down foot switch.
(19) Reposition planimeter to make measurement of next contour loop.
(20) Release foot switch.
(21) Repeat steps (17) through (21) for each consecutive loop measured before
merge.
(22) To change contour interval when next loop to remeasured is at a
different interval, key in new interval, press
and a.
(23) Repeat steps (18) through (24) for each of the independent volumes, until
all independent volumes have been measured.
(24) Reposition planimeter for measuring merge volume, and repeat steps (18)
through (24).
, and repeat steps (8) through (24).
(25) To measure next object, press
z.
Diverging volume runs.
(1) Use merging volume runs (paragraph 5-6.2y) to begin procedure for
diverging volume runs. Follow steps (1) through (16).
(2)
Trace boundary lines of contour. Stop when you reach starting point.
(3) Move up or down contours until you reach last contour before split
(diverging volume).
(4)
Position planimeter to measure first contour adjacent to diverging cut.
