Monitor
To perform repeatable measurements of one or more targets in the point list monitoring session.
During the monitoring session, the robotic total station will automatically find, lock and repeatably measure targets that are located on points of the monitored point list selected in the Monitor Point List dialog.
The dialog provides control over the monitoring process and offer tools to manually save measurements or to set up the automatic mode.
Use the view selector in the dialog title bar to switch between Normal view and Map view at any time:
- Normal view - contains tools to select and set up measurements saving mode, displays currently performed measurement data and features start / stop monitoring control.
- Map view - shows the monitoring process in real time on the map and features start / stop monitoring control.
Switch to the Normal view to select the measurement saving mode.
- The Point field displays the name of measured point. If the Store As Check Point box was checked in the Monitor Options dialog, measurements are saved as Check Points to the original points in the monitored point list; otherwise, they are saved as normal points. In case of normal points, the user can manually enter name for saved points.
Note: Click
and select Monitor Config from the Setup sub-menu to review or change monitoring parameters in the Monitor Options dialog.
- Select a measurement saving mode from the Auto drop-down list:
- Select ON to instruct the robotic total station to automatically rotate to the next point in the sequence and record a measurement.
- Set the Cycle Time period. It is the total time for a complete sequence or cycle. If there is time left after a sequence is completed, the instrument will wait the appropriate amount of time before restarting the sequence. The monitor function will always complete the entire sequence, even if the measurements take longer than the cycle time.
- In the Retries field, specify the number of repeated measurements of a point, if the first measurement failed.
- Select OFF to instruct the robotic total station to automatically rotate to the next point in the sequence. The user should click
to record a measurement. This permits to verify or correct the centering to the target prior to saving.
Click
in the bottom of either Normal view, or Map View to start the monitoring according to configured parameters. Click
to stop the monitoring.
