panel. Allows the measurements of distances
to a prism or a tape.
Any surface
To measure without reflector.

as stored in the software.

Manually
Measurements are done without any auto-
mation. ATRplus search and/or ATRplus
measurement are not performed.
Automatic
Positioning to static prisms. The ATRplus sen-
sor is used for measurements to static
prisms. If needed, an ATRplus measurement
or ATRplus search is performed after pressing
Measure
or
Distance
.
With lock
The instrument locks onto and follows the
moving prism. The ATRplus sensor is used to
follow moving prisms and to find prisms after
loss of lock. Depending on the setting for
Measure distance
, single or continuous
measurements are performed. Unavailable
for SmartStation.
Measure
distance
Once
When a single measurement with high preci-
sion is required.
Once & fast
When a single measurement is required but
the time to survey must be minimised. The
highest accuracy is of less importance.
Use this setting for example when perform-
ing, “typical” topographical surveys.
Continu-
ously
When continuous distance measurements are
required.
Performs a linear interpolation between the
previous and following angle measurement,
based on the timestamp of the EDM meas-
urement. Using this interpolation procedure,
a higher accuracy for all dynamic applications
is possible.
Repeatedly
& average
When an average of several measurements is
required.
Repeats measurements in standard measur-
ing mode. The average distance of
Number
of distances
and the standard deviation for
the averaged distance are calculated.
Use this setting for example when perform-
ing cadastral survey where rigid guidelines
must be followed.
