Monitoring options

To configure Monitoring options, tap and select Options.

Epoch start

• Idle time (min) – defines the wait time between the end of one epoch and the start of the next.
• Interval time (min) – defines the wait time between the start of one epoch and the start of the next. The minimum time varies depending on the time taken to complete each epoch; that is, the interval time must be longer than the time taken to measure an epoch.

Measurement settings

Face order

• Face 1 only – observations are taken only on face 1
• Face1...face 2... – all face 1 observations are taken to all points and then all face 2 observations are taken to all points
• Face 1/face 2... – face 1 and then face 2 observations are taken to the first point, face 1 and then face 2 observations are taken to the next point, and so on

Observation order

When the Face order is set to Face 1...face 2..., set the Observation order to:

• 123...123 – to take observations on face 2 in the same order as the observations on face 1
• 123...321 – to take observations on face 2 in the reverse order to the observations on face 1

When the Face order is set to Face 1 only or Face 1/face 2..., set the Observation order to:

• 123...123 – to take each round of observations in the same order
• 123...321 – to take every alternate round of observations in the opposite order

Number of measurements

Enter the number of measurements for each point in each round.

Number of rounds

Enter the number of rounds in each epoch.

Adjust EDM settings for distance

Set accuracy depending on the connected instrument.

Set instrument mode for distance

Set the best available working mode depending on the connected instrument and distance.

Auto-measure passive targets

If this check box is not selected, then you must manually aim to passive targets.

Skip obstructed foresights

Foresights are automatically skipped, if measurement is not possible, for example the prism is obstructed.

Laser pointer

Select the check box to enable the laser pointer during DR measurement.

Repeat missing targets

Select this check box to automatically repeat missed measurements, caused by a temporary block, for example if a vehicle parks in front of prism for a short period of time.

Missed backsight points are repeated immediately during each round. Other points are repeated automatically at the end of the round.

Compare with

First epoch: Compare the result with first epoch.

Previous epoch: Compare the results with the previously measured epoch.

First and previous epoch: Compare the results with the first and previously measured epoch.

If you select the First epoch or First and previous epoch option, the instrument turns to the position of the reference measurement. If you select the Previous epoch option, the instrument turns to the last measured location of the monitoring target instead of to the reference location, which reduces the searching time in cases where the monitoring target has moved substantially from the initial position and ensures the target can be measured properly.

Displacement tolerances

Define the tolerance value for monitoring points. If the tolerance is exceeded the software shows a warning.

Backsight residual tolerances

Define the tolerance value for backsight points. If the tolerance is exceeded the software shows a warning.
