Autolock technology

The instrument is equipped with Autolock technology, which is used for a robotic or a conventional measurement with Autolock.

Autolock technology controls the instrument servos and aims the instrument correctly towards the target.

TIP – To assure maximum performance from the Autolock technology keep the lens clean and dry.

The instrument can lock onto and track a target in two different modes depending on the type of target.

  • Passive mode: In passive mode the instrument can lock onto and track a prism.

  • SplitVision: When a Target ID is added to a prism the instrument will lock onto and track the active Target ID horizontally and the passive prism vertically.

Selection of the appropriate mode can be made via the field software interface while selecting the 360 target with Target ID prism type.

NOTE – Make sure to select the correct target in the field software to ensure correct lock and tracking of the target.

CAUTION – For precision measurements, when using the 360 degree prism, it is important to turn the prism, so that one of the prisms is pointed at the instrument. There is a mark on the top of the prism housing to assist in aligning a prism to the line of sight for the instrument.
