8.5 Automatic Prism Aiming AiM
Range AiM/TRack
AiM accuracy with the
ZPR100 prism
System accuracy with
AiM
• The accuracy with which the position of a prism can be determined with Automatic Prism Aiming (AiM)
depends on several factors such as internal AiM accuracy, instrument angle accuracy, prism type,
selected EDM measuring program and the external measuring conditions. The AiM has a basic standard
deviation level of ± 1 mm.
• The following graph shows the AiM standard deviation based on three different prism types, distances
and instrument accuracies.
Principle: Phase measurement
