Laser pointer

The laser pointer of the SX12 scanning total station is supported. Use the total station control panel to turn the laser off and on. Functionality is similar to the SPS model total stations, but does have some differences. With the SX12, the laser will be in flashing mode instead of being constant. This is because Siteworks uses TRK mode at all times except when actually taking a measurement to update the user location in the plan view. If Siteworks is in STD mode, the laser will still flash, although it may remain solid for a short time while the measurement is actually being taken or Siteworks is not displaying the main map screen with a user position.

By default, the laser in the SX12 instrument is off. It shares the same optical path as the telecamera, therefore when the laser is on, the telecamera is not available, and the video view zoom levels are constrained to the overview and primary cameras only. To re-enable the telecamera, turn off the laser.
