3 AUTOMATIC TRACKING / AUTOMATIC COLLIMATION
6) Prediction operating time
After the instrument loses a prism, the time (prediction operation time) for the instrument to continue
moving operation can be set up.
During auto tracking operation, when auto tracking axis between the instrument and a prism is
intercepted by a tree etc., the moving is continued supposing a motion (prediction) of the prism till then.
It is effective in auto tracking operation after the prism is intercepted with the obstacle by this function.
When an obstacle is large, the prediction operation time should be set up long.
Moreover, when you want to terminate auto tracking operation immediately at the point which missed
the prism, and to be changed into a search state. Prediction operation time should be set up short.
Settable time: 0.5sec, 1sec, 2sec, 3sec, 4sec, 5sec
