3 AUTOMATIC TRACKING / AUTOMATIC COLLIMATION
3.1 Automatic Tracking
The instrument will measure the moving target(prism) in automatic tracking mode.
•
It is possible to perform auto-tracking only in prism mode.
When switched to the automatic tracking mode, it becomes prism mode from Non-prism mode/Non-
prism long mode automatically. Moreover, after the end of an automatic tracking does not return to
Non-prism mode/Non-prism long mode.
•
The prism should be stable when beginning auto-tracking. Moreover, when the prism is locked from
the search, it is similar.
•
The Coarse 10mm mode must be used when measuring distance continuously for the moving
prism. In other modes, it is impossible to measure the distance continuously.
•
Change to the Fine mode when measuring the distance with high accuracy for the stationary prism.

Roughly collimate the target prism using V/H
jog/shuttle.
(Refer to Section 3.3 “Range of Laser for Auto-
tracking and Auto-collimating”.)
