TPS Measure mode

• The Measure mode allows to edit the type of measurements.

• To open the Measure mode page press the corresponding icon.

  

• This opens the Measure mode page.

  

  • Direct measure: measure directly to a point.

  • Traverse Point: specifies that the next point measured is a polygonal point. The polygonal points are saved to allow a rapid change of station.

  • Offset HA: performs a measurement to an object for which the prism cannot be placed at the point to measure.

  • Offset VA: performs a measurement to a point not accessible directly by the prism but above or below.

  • Offset Distance: performs a measurement to a point not accessible directly by the prism but at a certain distance along the direction between station and prism.

  • Face1/Face2: performs a measurement to a point in both faces and calculates the average.

  • Only HA: performs only an angle measurement to a point.

  • Multi target: performs a measurement using a multi target pole.

  • Tilted pole (X-TILT): performs a measurement to a point with two tilted pole measurements.

  • Column: measures a cylinder object measuring the sides and the center of the object.

  • Measure with prism offsets: performs a measurement to points applying an offset to prism measurements. The offset can be left, right or longitudinal.

Offset HA

• Performs a measurement to an object for which the prism cannot be placed at the point to measure.

• Open the Measure mode page.

• Select Offset HA.

  

• Measure the prism to calculate the distance.

• Aim the center of the position to measure to measure the angle.

  

• Press OK to save the offset point.

Offset VA

• Offset VA performs a measurement to a point not accessible directly by the prism but above or below.

• Open the Measure mode page.

• Select Offset VA.

  

• Measure the prism to calculate the distance.

• Aim at the point on the vertical to the target.

  

• Press OK to save the offset point.

Offset distance

• Offset distance performs a measurement to a point not accessible directly by the prism but at a certain distance along the direction between station and prism.

• Open the Measure mode page.

• Select Offset Distance.

  

• Measure the target.

• Enter in the Offsets page the offsets to apply.

  

• Press Accept to save the measurement and point.

Face I / Face II

• Performs a measurement to a point in both faces and calculates the average.

• Open the Measure mode page.

• Select F1/F2.

  

• Measure the target. The total station if is robotic automatically rotates to face 2.

• Press OK to measure the same target with face 2.

• The software shows the result.

  

Multi target

• Performs a measurement using a multi target pole.

• Open the Measure mode page.

• Select Multi target.

  

• Press Measure.

• The software allows to indicate the target position on the pole.

  

• Select Tools and Pole setup to setup the parameters of the multi target pole.

  

• Press Measure to measure the first target position.

• Continue to measure the other target positions.

• Select Store to save the calculated coordinate.

X-TILT

• Performs a measurement to a point with two tilted pole measurements, using controller sensors. This measure mode allows to measure points that otherwise cannot be directly measured.

• Open the Measure mode page.

• Select Tilted pole X-TILT.

  

•  Keep the pole vertical and press Calibrate to start the sensor calibration.

  

• Perform the first measurement with the pole tilted.

• Perform the second measurement with the pole tilted in another direction.

• Select the correct solution (you can be helped raising the pole) and select Store to save the result.

• Or select Add point to add a third measurement. With three measurements the solution is automatically selected and the software shows the result residuals.

Column

• Column measure mode performs an accurate measurement of the center of a cylindric object such as columns, trees or pipes using a TPS.

• Open the Measure mode page.

• Select Column.

  

• Press Measure and aim to the left side of the cylindric object. Press OK to record the angle only.

• Aim to the right side of the cylindric object. Press OK to record the angle only.

• Aim to the center of the object. If the instrument is robotic it automatically rotates. Press OK to measure the distance.

Measure with prism offsets

• The option enables a toolbar that helps to measure corners or walls using prisms.

• With this feature the measurement of those element can be done with one single measurement.

• After have defined the prism type it is possible to specify if the point that you are going to measure is:

  • Longitudinal: prism is on the direction TPS→prism.

  • Right: prism is on the right of the point.

  • Left: prism is on the left of the point

• Open the Measure mode page.

• Enables Measure with prism offsets.

  

• This shows a new bar in the survey page.

  

  • STD: standard point on the center of the pole.

  • LEFT: point is on the left of the prism:

  • LONG: point is in the direction TPS→prism.

  • RIGHT: point is on the right of the prism.

  • DOWN: it allows to measure a point with the pole up-side down.
