| H DEV (a) | The distance from the current position to the line, left negative and right positive. | |
| V DEV (c) | The delta chainage between the vertical point of current position to the line and the vertical point of the target to the line, positive before and negative after. | |
| Cut/Fill | If the current elevation is higher than the target, it is Cut, otherwise it is Fill. | |
| Elev | 1. Enter new design elevation: cover the elevation of the target station; 2.

7.5.3 Stakeout task
The task is selected in the bottom area, and the default is Stake line. Cross-section survey and Stake slope are optional. The Cross-section Survey and Stake Slope tasks need to add corresponding data to the road file first. For details, please refer to Chapter 5.4.3.
After selecting [Stake Line], you can also select the left or right line here, and input the offset with the forward direction as the reference. The left is negative and the right is positive. After confirmation, the map view will be updated.
The [Real-Time Station] always displays the nearest station from the current position to the line, and the [Target Station] can also be selected. When the [Target Station] is selected, a pop-up window will appear to enter the target station. Click [OK] to go directly to the target station. Station can be directly added or subtracted according to the station interval. The configuration is shown in Chapter 6.4.4.3.
Note:
When measuring in Stake Road, there is no need to enter the point ID. The target station is automatically used as the point ID. If the point ID needs to be modified, it can be manually modified in the point library.
