10. TARGET SIGHTING
& Measure Acc.
This setting refers to internal operation of the Auto Pointing function.
In the "Advanced" setting, Auto Pointing movement before completion is constant. As a result,
Auto Pointing takes longer to complete depending on the target position, but sighting accuracy
is improved.
In the "Standard" setting, Auto Pointing movement is not constant, because the most direct way
to the target is chosen. That means the "Standard" setting enables Auto Pointing at a
comparatively faster speed than "Advanced".
In the "Advanced" setting, the offset between telescope reticle and the target center may larger
than that of "Standard".
& Srch method
Selects search before distance measurement option.
When set to "G.S." the instrument will search for the target in the area specified in the Search
area tab. When set to "R.C.", the instrument will wait for a Turning command to be issued from
the RC-Controller before starting Auto Pointing. Such commands can only be received when
using instruments have a .
& TURN
This option allows the user to set a tolerance range for setting accuracy (after rotation to a
specified angle). For example, when this option is set to 30" and [INV], [H.ANG], or [ROTATE]
is pressed, the instrument will stop rotation within 30" of the specified rotation angle.
& Search operation during Auto Pointing
When the target enters the field-of-view within the set limit (setting of "Auto AIM" and "Measure
Acc.") for Auto Pointing completion, the instrument stops moving, calculates the offset between
the target and telescope reticle by image processing, then compensates the angle measurement
value obtained from the encoder. This compensation enables accurate sighting in a short time.
Even though the target and telescope reticle may appear to be misaligned, actual angle value
of center of the target is displayed. Compensated values are displayed in blue.
If the instrument is rotated (manually or using the Jogs) more than 10", compensation will be
canceled, the angle reverts to that obtained from the encoder, and the angle values are once
again displayed in black. Compensation is automatically performed when performing Auto
Tracking. Terminating Auto Tracking or powering OFF the instrument will cancel the
compensation function.
2. Set the area in which to perform target sighting in
the Search area tab.
Angle values can only be specified in 1°steps.
Input values not conforming to this format will be
automatically rounded up.
