3 AUTOMATIC TRACKING / AUTOMATIC COLLIMATION
3.3 Range of Laser for Auto-tracking and Auto-collimating
The range of laser at the long distance is within ±30' as shown below. So you had better collimate the
prism so that the prism may be located within this range of laser in the first step. As for it, rapid
automatic collimating and automatic tracking becomes possible. If the target prism is out of this range,
time for searching mode will be necessary to take a longer time for automatic collimating/tracking.
The range of the laser beam for auto-tracking in a short distance is almost the same as a telescopic
filed of view. Therefore, quick starting of auto-tracking and auto-collimating are possible if the prism is
contained in the telescopic field of view.
