6. SETTINGS FOR THE TOTAL STATION
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 Remote Controller before starting Auto Pointing. Such commands can only be received
when using instruments have a .
TURN (Accu. rotate)
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 [TURN], [H.ANG], or [INV] 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") 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, it does not affect the
sighting accuracy. 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 "Srch. method" to "R.C." in order to start
Turning operation in response to a Turning
command issued from the Remote Controller.
Set to "G.S." to search for the target in the area
specified in the Search area tab.
3. Set the area in which to perform target sighting in
the Search area tab.
