I Laser Rangefinders<br />

I.3.3 Configuration for Use with the Asset Surveyor Software<br />

This section provides instructions for configuring the ProSurvey 1000<br />

laser rangefinder itself. For more information on configuring the Asset<br />

Surveyor software to work with the ProSurvey 1000 laser rangefinder,<br />

see Using the ProSurvey 1000 with the Asset Surveyor Software,<br />

page 336.<br />

EEPROM configuration<br />

The ProSurvey 1000 contains an electrically erasable and<br />

programmable ROM chip (or EEPROM), which is used to hold a<br />

wealth of configurable settings. You can view and modify these<br />

settings using the LAEEPROM program, which can be obtained from<br />

Laser Atlanta.<br />

For operation with the Asset Surveyor software, it is critical that three<br />

of the EEPROM settings be correctly configured. These are:<br />

334 TSC1 Asset Surveyor Operation Manual<br />

range_mode, whichmust be set to Range (averaged)<br />

rs232_output_mode, whichmust be set to ASCII<br />

range output (on trig release)<br />

range_opcode, whichmust be set to New ProSurvey<br />

format<br />

If any of these settings is incorrect, the ProSurvey 1000 does not<br />

output information about each laser shot in a form that can be<br />

interpreted by the Asset Surveyor software. The most likely symptom<br />

of this is that the Asset Surveyor software emits a warning beep each<br />

time the laser’s trigger is released.<br />

In addition, <strong>Trimble</strong> recommends that you set the hud_mode<br />

EEPROM setting to Bearing, so that you can watch the laser’s<br />

compass bearing stabilize in the head-up display before taking each<br />

shot.
