tsc_StationingField

This is a field based on tsc_NumericField and tsc_Control. Available since version 22.10 (Trimble Access v2022.10).

It is used to input stationing values in a variety of formats. The term stationing is also known as  chainage in some places.

The Value() method sets or returns a value for a Slope distance in meters. This is always meters and is unaffected by the the chosen format for displaying the field. 

The display format is configurable, settings for units and the stationing format can be found in Trimble Access here: Main menu → Job → Properties → Units.

Station display

(Also known as Chainage in some countries.)

This defines the distance along a line, arc, alignment, road or tunnel.

The station values can be displayed as:

• • 1000.0 where the values are displayed as entered

  • 10+00.0 where the + separates the hundreds from the remaining digits

  • 1+000.0 where the + separates the thousands from the remaining digits

  • Station index
    The Station index display type uses an extra Station index increment field value as part of its definition.
    The station value is displayed as per the 10+00.0 option, but the value before the + is the station value
    divided by the Station index increment. The remainder is displayed after the +. For example if the Station
    index increment is set to 20, a station value of 42.6 m is displayed as 2+02.600m. This display option is
    used in Brazil but may have application in other markets.
