TRACKER CHAPTER 5
GEODIMETER SYSTEM 600
Overview
Geodimeter System 600 can be equipped with a Tracker unit
which is needed when using the system for robotic surveying
or when performing conventional surveying with
Autolock™.
The tracker has control over the instrument's servos and
aims the instrument correctly towards the target, which in
these cases must be an RMT (Remote Target). An automatic
search function is optional.
Search Criteria (OPTIONAL for Autolock™)
It is possible to let the tracker make a search for the target,
e.g. when measuring in dark or in heavy shrubbery where the
sight is not so good or when having lost contact with the
prism during a measurement.
The search is either started manually by pressing the A/M
key or automatically in TRK-mode (if you have switched
TRK Search ON).
The tracker seeks for the target in the following order:
1.
±
30 degrees horizontally around the point
at which the instrument is pointing.
2. In a three-dimensional search window*
* If no search window is set the search will be carried out 360
degrees around the instrument and ± 15 degrees vertically.
Note !
If no target is found after the search Info 158 will be dis-
played. Reaim the RMT towards the instrument and press
the A/M-key to start the search procedure.
