Targets
To view and manage target configurations available for selection and usage and to add and delete custom targets.
- To review target configurations and to select a new target configuration to use in measurements:
- The list displays available target configurations based on available types of targets: Prism, reflective Sheet, reflectorless Non-Prism, long reflectorless Long Non-Prism (supported target types depend on the configured instrument model):
- predefined prisms configurations of specific prism models (ATP1 360, (ATP2 360, A6 360, A7 360, Builder Series 360), generic prisms configurations (0 Offset, -30 Offset);
- predefined sheet configuration with 0 Offset;
- predefined non-prism configuration with 0 Offset;
- predefined long non-prism configuration with 0 Offset (available for IS / QS / GPT / GTS Series total stations);
- user-created (custom) configurations of any target type.
- Every target configuration stores the target specific parameters:
- Name - the model name for predefined specific prism configurations, the target type for predefined sheet and reflectorless configurations, or the user entered name for custom target configurations.
- 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 - is the offset between horizontal optical axis of the prism and antenna reference point (ARP).
- Height Type - the method how the height of the prism is measured in MAGNET Field.
- Center Offset - the distance from bottom of prism to its center.
- 360 Prism - indicates if a 360-degree prism is used in this configuration (Yes or No status).
- Aperture - the value for the Prism or Sheet reflector's aperture size in mm.
- The currently used target configuration is marked with
near its name.
- Click on a target configuration to highlight it and select it to use in measurements.
- Click
or
to change the position of selected target configuration in the list.
- To view, add, edit, or delete specific target configuration:
Note: Predefined target configurations are non-editable and can't be deleted; you can only view target details.
- Highlight a target configuration and click the View / Edit button to open the Edit Target dialog and view the details of predefined target configuration or view and edit the target parameters for custom target configuration.
- Click the Add button to open the New Target dialog, enter parameters of a new user-defined target and create a custom target configuration.
- Click the Delete button to delete a highlighted custom target configuration from the list.
Click
to save the current target configuration choice and return to the previous dialog. Click
to close the dialog without saving changes.
