J External Sensors
The procedure essentially involves taking a distance
measurement to the object in question, then taking an angle
measurement to the base and top of the object.
5. Press the ENTER button on the Criterion’s keypad to send the
height to your TSC1 datalogger.
Provided you have configured your external sensor interface
correctly, and have connected and operated the Criterion 300
correctly, a value like 15.4 appears as the Height attribute for
your feature.
6. \ Press to save the feature.
From this point on, the Asset Surveyor software treats the
Height attribute as if it had been entered manually. It has no
special properties.
J.2.4 Switching between Recording Laser Offsets and Heights
B Tip
You can use a Criterion laser rangefinder both for measuring offsets
and for measuring the heights of objects. However, in order for the
Asset Surveyor software to process these different types of data, you
must indicate whether the Criterion is being used as an offset sensor or
as a height sensor. You do this by alternately activating and
deactivating the Height sensor and Laser entries in the Select sensor
menu (accessible under theXsoftkey when collecting data).
– Do not configure both the Height sensor and the Laser to
auto-connect; if you do this, only the Height sensor is activated and an
error message appears when the Asset Surveyor software attempts to
automatically activate the Laser interface.
