New Target / Edit Target
To review detailed information about the selected target; to create a new custom target, or to modify parameters of an existing custom target.
- Review detailed information about the selected target:
- Name - the name of the target configuration.
- Target Type - the type of target used in this configuration, either Prism, reflective Sheet, reflectorless Non-Prism, long reflectorless Long Non-Prism (supported target types depend on the configured instrument model).
- Constant (prism constant, or P.C.) - the parameter of the Prism characterizing the difference between the reflection plane and the center of the prism. Prism constant is a given property of the particular prism model; the value is specified on the prism body or in prism's instruction manual. For Sheet, Non-Prism, and Long Non-Prism targets, the added offset distance in mm along the observation line from the physical surface of the target to the actual target point.
-
Hybrid Positioning™ antenna offset - the offset between horizontal optical axis of the prism and antenna reference point (ARP). See the figure:
Note: Review the detailed information on how to set the antenna height in a single equipment setup ready for both, Hybrid Positioning™ and standard GNSS surveys.
- Height Type - the option specifies the method how you will measure the height of the prism for your routines:
- Center of Prism - in a survey, you will enter the direct height from the pole tip to the center of the prism (measured manually, e.g. by a tape). If the Center of Prism method is used, the Center Offset field is disabled.
- Top of Pole - in a survey, you will enter only the pole's height. The fixed value of prism's center offset (the distance from bottom of prism to its center) will be automatically added to this height. If the Top of Pole method is used, you must specify this offset value in the Center Offset field.
- 360 Prism - if this check box is selected, it indicates that a 360-degree prism is used in the configuration.
- Aperture - the value for the Prism or Sheet reflector's aperture size in mm. Make sure the correct value is entered in this field. If incorrect aperture size is specified the tracking algorithms may produce errors.
- Create or edit a custom target configuration:
- Specify the Name for a new target configuration.
- Select the Target type for this target configuration.
- Enter or modify the selected target type related parameters (described above) as necessary.
- Click
to save the target configuration and return to the Targets dialog. Click
to close the dialog without saving changes.
