Servo technology
The instrument is equipped with servo controlled motors to position the instrument.
NOTE – Due to the high speed position servo used in the instrument it is important to use a high quality tripod and tribrach.
It is also important to set up the tripod in a position for best stability. If the setup, tripod and/or tribrach is/are unstable the instrument servos might oscillate slightly in an effort to compensate for that instability. An unstable setup that could negatively influence the resulting measurement precision. See Setup stability.
Trimble MagDrive™ servo technology is an electromagnetic direct drive system, which gives high turning speeds and accuracy. The frictionless motion removes servo noise and reduces instrument wear.
