The phase measurement needs multiple modulation frequencies to rich a non ambiguous results
because the phase measurement can only measure the phase of the wave rest piece.
Transmitter unit
The unit includes a laser drive board with laser diode, the unit also includes the tracker transmitter.
When the EDM is in DR mode the tracker transmitter is closed by a shutter.
