Trimble Target ID

The target ID is an optional unit that connects to the Trimble standard rod to transform the prism from a passive target to an active target.

You can configure the target ID to eight different IDs, which are then used by the instrument to ensure that the instrument locks onto and tracks only the target with the correct Target ID. Configure the Target ID through its own LED display.
