Image technology

The instrument is equipped with a total of four cameras: overview camera, primary camera, tele camera and plummet camera. Each camera performs a different task.

Overview camera

The overview camera is positioned parallel with the EDM axis but with an offset. It has a fixed focus with a 54° field of view.

The overview camera is used for the following zoom levels:

• Zoom level 1-2 when the laser pointer is off.

• Zoom level 1-2 when the laser pointer is on.

Primary camera

The primary camera is positioned parallel with the EDM axis but with an offset. It has a fixed focus with a 12° field of view.

The primary camera is used for the following zoom levels:

• Zoom level 3-4 when the laser pointer is off.

• Zoom level 3-6 when the laser pointer is on.

Tele camera

The tele camera is positioned coaxial with the EDM axis. It is equipped with an auto focus with a 2° field of view.

The tele camera is used for the following zoom levels:

• Zoom level 5-8 when the laser pointer is off.

• The tele camera is not used when the laser pointer is on. The tele camera and laser pointer share the same optical path, and so only one may be used at a time.
