Stonex R180 – User Manual 36
5. R180 Configurations
R180 supports three different configurations:
1. On-Board Configuration
2. Remote Configuration
3. One-Pole Solution
5.1. On-Board Configuration
On-Board configuration is the standard R180 configuration. With this solution, the user can work directly
on the station, managing the instrument with the internal pre-installed applications and the survey with
Cube-a. Here below the components that form the On-Board configuration:
5.2. Remote Configuration
Remote configuration can be used to manage the instrument remotely, using an external controller
connected to the total station. This solution is typical of one-man survey that needs to work alone
managing the station remotely using an external tablet. R180 is already configured for Remote
configuration and doesn’t require any hardware modifications. For this reason, the Remote configuration
can be used only purchasing another Cube-a license and activating it on an external device.
In this way, it’s possible to connect the tablet to the Cube-a installed on R180 via BT and send the
commands to the total station directly with the tablet. The instrument is equipped with a long-range BT
module, that guarantees the communication with the tablet until 350 meters (test perfomed with UT12P).
