To define the list of points to monitor

To define the list of points to monitor, you must have opened a job, connected to the instrument and completed a station setup.

  1. Tap and select Measure / Monitoring.
  2. Use the softkeys below the Point list to add points to the list using one of these methods:
  3. Once all of the monitoring points are added to the list, check the following requirements:
    • The points must have 3D coordinates.
    • At least one of the points is defined as the backsight.
    • The monitoring list is in the same order that you want the points to be observed. To sort points by azimuth, select the Azimuth check box.

    To turn the instrument to the selected point, tap Turn to.

    To remove a point from the list, select it and tap Delete.

    To change the columns displayed in the list, tap the Up arrow softkey and then tap Display. Select or clear the check boxes as required. To return to the Points list, tap OK.

  4. Tap Next.
  5. Complete the steps required to start the epoch. See To start monitoring using the wizard.

To reduce the measurement time, tap the Sort softkey below the point list and select Clockwise azimuth direction. This sorts the point list by clockwise direction from the reference (backsight) azimuth, which reduces the time to measure multiple targets in various directions by limiting the size of rotation the instrument turns in each measurement.

  1. Tap Add.
  2. Enter the Point name, or tap and select List to select the point from the list of points in the job.
  3. If the point is a backsight point, select the Backsight check box. At least one of the points must be selected as a backsight.

  4. Select the Prism type, and enter the Target height and, if required, the Prism constant.

    When measuring to reflectorless (DR) targets, set the Prism type to DR.

  5. Select the Working mode. This setting is used for all subsequent measurements in the epoch.

    In prism mode, select Autolock, FineLock or Long Range FineLock to lock on to the remote prism. The status bar indicates when the instrument is locked to a prism.

    A search is automatically performed if a measurement is initiated when Autolock is enabled but the instrument is not locked to the target.

  6. Tap Add.
  1. Tap ASCII (CSV) file.
  2. Select the *.csv file from the list. For a list of information that the CSV file must contain see CSV import file format requirements.

  3. Tap OK.

    The system shows the number of points imported. The points are added to the monitoring list.
