Follow Moving Prisms - Lock
Lock enables instruments equipped with automatic aiming to follow a moving
prism. The automatic aiming sensor is active when Lock is active. When
Target
lock on
is selected in the icon bar, an automatic aiming search is executed.
The instrument locks onto the prism and follows its movements. Automatic
aiming offsets are continuously applied to the angle measurements. When the
instrument loses lock to the prism, a PowerSearch or fine search (auto aiming
search) can be executed depending on the prism search settings.
Lock is unavailable for SmartStation.
