SiteStake

Easy to Buy SiteStake is designed to give you the features you need for a price you can afford. We chose the HP48 as our platform because of its low cost and powerful engineering functions. To keep costs down the software can also be used without additional RAM.	Easy to Use SiteStake has all the basic tools you need, in a format that is easy to learn and easy to use. All the Cogo functions are right on your keyboard for quick, calculator style operation.
No Limitations SiteStake provides complete radial stakeout by coordinates, point numbers, and station/offset. Unlike some packages where you must occupy the baseline to stake by station/offset, with SiteStake you really can do anything from anywhere.	Complete Communication SiteStake is ready to communicate with your office computers and field instruments. With complete communication you can achieve the highest level of productivity in today's business environment.

SiteStake was designed to provide a powerful, low cost tool for surveyors and contractors performing coordinate geometry and construction stakeout. SiteStake includes all the cogo features of our Student Cogo software plus adds the ability to interface with total stations and office PC's.

SiteStake Program List

Circle Solutions

From any two pieces of data (Delta, Radius, Arc, Chord, Tangent) compute the remaining values.
Midordinate, external, sector area, and segment area are also computed.

Triangle Solutions

Compute solutions to Side-Angle-Side, Angle-Side-Angle, Side-Side-Angle, and Side-Side-Side.
The area is also computed.

Elevations

2 methods of setting the Instrument Elevation.
It can also use Total Station or Level and Rod data to compute elevations and cut/fills.

Cogo Programs

Traverse with Bearings/Azimuths
Traverse with Angles
Inverse with Point Numbers and/or Coordinates
Sideshots
Stake-Out Ties
Resection
Offset/Run (Compute offset and run of a point from a baseline)
Radius Point (Compute a Radius point from 3 known points)

Intersections

Line-Line with Angles & Offsets
Line-Distance with Angle & Offset
Distance-Distance

Areas

Compute areas with point numbers or coordinates.
Figure may contain lines and curves.
Print area summary to a serial or infrared printer.
Predetermined Area by swing or slide method.

Horizontal Baselines

Lay out lines and curves
Generates coordinates or radial stakeout data from any station and offset.
The baseline can be linked with a vertical profile for three dimensional work.

Vertical Profiles

Lay out straight grades
Lay out vertical curves
Generate grades from a station and vertical offset.

Trig. Functions

All Trig functions can use angles in degrees or DMS format. The following functions are included: Sin, Cos, Tan, ASin, ACos, ATan, RD, DR, RP, PR, DMS+, DMS-, DMS×, DMS÷

Traverse Adjustment

A simple yet powerful compass rule program. It allows you to test angles and closure separately or simultaneously. You can edit and test the data numerous times before adjusting it into a cogo file. It can print a summary to a serial or infrared printer.
