This manual provides comprehensive instructions for using the COGO-10/20 software, a tool designed for civil engineers and surveyors to solve plane coordinate geometry problems. The documentation covers:
- Introduction to COGO: Explaining the interactive and batch operational modes.
- Conventions and Definitions: Details on commands, data types (integers, coordinates, angles, bearings, azimuths), and the use of figures and tables.
- Command Reference: Extensive documentation on control commands, point maintenance, geometric calculations (tangents, intersections, alignments, spirals), and tabular output.
- Sample Jobs: Practical examples illustrating roadway layout, right-of-way taking, and subdivision computation.
- Operating Procedures: Guidelines for system access, file management, and running the COGO program on TOPS-10 and TOPS-20 operating systems.
- Appendices: A summary of commands, a list of common error messages, and a glossary of terms.
