Hybrid Lock: Clicking on the icon automatically turns the Robotic Total Station to the reflector. To search the reflector, the software has to have the coordinates of the occupation point (where the Robotic Total Station is set) and current coordinates of a point where the rod (with GNSS antenna and reflector) is set in WGS -84 coordinate system. The icon is displayed when the Hybrid Positioning™ mode is activated. The icon is available when the localization are performed or Grid to Ground transformation is selected or a Grid coordinate system was selected for Total Station measuring. |
|
Laser Pointer: Turns the laser pointer on or off. Available for certain total stations only. |
|
LN Series Laser Pointer: Turns the LN Series device's laser pointer on or off. |
|
Turn: Opens the Rotate dialog to turn the Total station to various angles or points. |
|
Arrow joystick: Allows to rotate the total station from a controller. If a controller has the arrow joystick and the Virtual Joystick option is not active, clicking the icon activates the controller's arrow joystick for total station rotation. The icon's arrows become green. If the Virtual Joystick option is active, clicking the icon opens the Remote Control (Virtual Joystick) dialog, containing virtual joystick for total station rotation. |
|
Search: Forces the total station to aim to the prism without starting of measurements. |
|
Search & Measure: Forces the total station to aim to the prism and make the measurement. |
|
Search & Lock:
|
|
Stop: Forces the total station to stop tracking the prism and go into a "Standby" mode. |
