This is a command for total station applications only, in which the elevation of one or more remote, but known, points is used to compute the elevation of the occupied Station. The Remote BM tab is the 2nd to the right in the Backsight screen. The main screen is shown below.

- Read: You have the option to transfer the elevation from a single benchmark by taking a reading on it, any number of times, in any face. You may also use multiple benchmark points, any number of times, in any face. If you turn on Direct and Reverse for Resection in Configuration, Sets tab, robotic instruments will perform a D&R automatically for remote elevation readings as well.

- Results: The readings taken on the benchmark are reported in the Results dialog. All of the readings taken will determine an average instrument point elevation.
- Store: Click Store to update the instrument point elevation. A store point record will be recorded to the raw data file.
