Target field
• If the measurement is started with the Target
field set to Prism, there is a dash “–” in front of
the prism constant.
• If the measurement is started with the Target
field set to N-Prism, there is a right square
bracket “]” in front of the prism constant.
The symbol then continuously moves from left to right over the prism constant in
the display.
The Target setting is used by the Focus6 5" total station to apply better cyclic-error
adjustment in distance measurement. The target setting efficiently eliminates
multipath reflection.
An incorrect Target setting may result in measurements outside the precision and
intervals specified for the instrument.
If a prism target is aimed in N-prism mode, the warning message
Signal
High!→Try Prism Mode
is displayed because of the excessive light reflection.
A measurement made immediately after changing the target setting may take longer
than usual.
Rec mode field
The Rec mode setting controls how the [MSR1] and [MSR2] keys operate in the BMS.
The MSR only setting is the default measurement mode. After a measurement, the
instrument stops in the BMS and waits for you to press [ENT] before recording the
point.
The Confirm setting displays the Record PT screen before data is recorded.
