Configuration
The same key presses and flow apply to the configuration sub menu as for the units sub menu in the previous
section.
The user can make a selection within these screens using the
▲
key to scroll through the options and by
pressing the
FIRE
button to accept the selection.
The user can change the configuration of the LaserAce® Pocket Series by using the configuration sub menu
within the Setup menu screen. Most of these are self-explanatory but particular attention should be paid to the
Gradient
,
Ranging
and
Interface
configuration options, and these are available depending on the type of
LaserAce® Pocket Series equipment you have.
GRADIENT
(LaserAce® Survey) allows the user to select the way the gradient is displayed in missing distance
mode. It can be displayed in Ratio Form, as an Angle or as a Percentage.
RANGING
Three choices exist in the
Ranging
menu;
FIRST HIT
,
LAST HIT
and
ACTIVE MODE/ BRUSH FILTER
. These
can be useful under certain conditions.
FIRST HIT, LAST HIT and ACTIVE MODE/ BRUSH FILTER
See pages 27 and 28.
ACTIVE MODE or BRUSH FILTER
instructs the laser to only operate to active targets (reflective targets). The
target to be used is a 150mm x 150mm piece of 3M reflective foil. The laser is
NOT
to be used to prisms in this
mode, as the signal returned may be too strong and could lead to errors. This mode is provided to enable the
laser to measure through obstructions (scrub, tree, brush) to the required point where the target has been
positioned. The laser can operate through relatively dense obstructions but must be able to see at least part of
the target.
INTERFACE
This is set at the MDL FREE FORMAT – do not change. For detailed information about the
DATA FORMAT
selection, see section 11 of this manual.
POWER
Power can be set as AUTO-POWER. ON or OFF.
