CST/BERGER CST205 - Returned Signal Checking; Distance and Angle Measurement

11.2 Returned signal checking
z Check to make sure that sufficient reflected light is returned by the reflective
prism sighted by the telescope. This function comes in handy when using in
conjunction with making long distance measurements.
z Note: In short distance measurement, even though the center of the reflective
prism and the reticle are slightly misaligned, “*” will be also displayed, but in fact,
accurate measurement is impossible. Therefore make sure that the target is
sighted correctly.
z This Checking can be performed at any time unless in the star key mode.
11.3 Distance and angle measurement
An angle can be measured at the same time as the distance.
• About record distance and angle data please see “21.1 Recording distance
measurement data”

z if “*” is displayed, only enough light for
the measurement is returned.

During fine average measurement, the distance data is displayed as H_1, H_2,…to H_9. When
the designated number of measurements has been completed, the average value of the distance is
displayed in the H line.
