Auto Topo (Robotic TS)

To automatically collect points with robotic total station by auto-saving a point each time a specified criterion is met.

Auto Topo survey is supported by robotic total stations and allows you to collect points automatically. While the robotic total station is tracking the target, MAGNET Field checks the status of the criterion in real time and saves the obtained measurement result as another auto topo point in the job at the moment the criterion condition is met.

The criterion that triggers the saving of a point is defined in the Auto Topo settings dialog. This dialog is a part of the Optical configuration wizard for Robotic survey. It's possible to review and change the criterion at any time in the auto topo survey by clicking in the Auto Topo dialog's title bar.


Use the view selector in the dialog title bar to switch between Normal view and Map view at any time:


Switch to the Normal view to review and modify collected points data before going to the auto topo mode.


Switch to the Map view to start the auto topo survey and automatically collect points.


Note: To make auto topo points and their coordinates viewable in the job, open the Points dialog (click > > to open), click / in the title bar, select filter by Type from the drop-down menu and check the Auto Topo Points box in the list of point types. To display auto topo points on the Map, check the Auto Topo box in the Points tab of the Map Properties dialog (click > > to open).


For more information on the available controls and TS statuses, see the Status and Tools Panels (Optical survey) and Topo Panel (Optical survey).
