I need help calculating %grade as a variable/measure
Posted: Tue Jun 25, 2013 4:46 pm
New user here. We are using RT in a mining application to measure haul roads.
I need help with creating a user defined variable: Grade
Grade is defined as: change in rise/change in run * 100
In the variable manager I can only have access to GPS altitude(m) and distance (m).
In the summary statistics you can create a measure with:
value at start
value at end
change in.
So I have created measurements for change in GPS altitude and for change in distance.
What I can't figure out is how to create a variable/measure to give me the grade calculation using those 2.
Can I script a variable and somehow use the change in function?
Thanks for your help and time.
