Point Numbers and Point SearchIncrementing point numbersPoint number is defined as thecurrent point number in allmeasuring dialogues. Thenumber at the end of the currentpoint number is incremented by 1.The +1 incrementation step isfixed. If at the end of the pointnumber there is no incrementation,then a number is added afterit has been automatically saved.Examples:Current pointnumber : 12AAfter saving : 12A1Current pointnumber : A999After saving : A1000Letters from A to Z andspecial characters arenot incremented.Individual point numbersIn the Measurement &Registering menus and in thepoint recording menu, it ispossible to switch between thecurrent and individual pointnumbers. (see FNC menu,"Insert").7

Point SearchDefinition8The point search is a globalfunction used by applications tosearch for internally storedmeasuring points or coordinates.It is possible for the user to limitthe point search to a particular jobor to search the whole memory.Job:PROJ_EASTFixed points are always displayedfirst matching the relevant searchcriteria. If several points meet thesearch conditions then the pointsare arranged depending on "age".Direct searchBy entering an actual pointnumber (e.g. "P13") all points withthe corresponding point numberare found.Example:Input: "P13"As an example, 2 fixed points and3 measurements are found. Youcan page through the matchselection using .FIND POINT < 2/5>Job : PROJ_OSTPtID : P13Type : FIXPOINTE : 128.400 mN : 244.000 mH : 2.500 m FixpointThe point found is a fixed point.MeasurementThe point found is a measuredpoint.2/5The point found is point number 2of a total of 5 points in thisrelevant job.Scroll within all pointsmatched.Re-enter the search criteria.If no suitable point can befound the user is notifiedby the error message "Point notfound".

Point search is always startedwith the last recorded point.The last entered/measuredpoints are displayed first; fixedpoints before measured points.Scroll through the list ofpoints found.Found:P13, fixed point, time: 9:34:55P13, measurement, time:14:59:01P13, measurement, time:15:46:12P13, measurement, time:16:18:38P13, fixed point, time: 9:52:10to start of list !At the end of the measuredpoints the search returns tothe beginning of the fixed points.PointfoundfirstPoint number Time of recording... ....P13 9:52:10... ....P13 9:34:55... ....... ....... ....... ....P13 14:59:01... ....P13 15:46:12P13 16:18:38... .....FIXED POINTSMEASUREMENTSTC700Z899

Wildcard SearchDefinition10The Wildcard search is indi-catedby a "*". The asterisk is a placeholder for any following sequenceof characters.Wildcards are always used if thepoint number is not fully known,or if a batch of points is to besearched for.FIND POINTJob : PROJ_4PtID : S*Starts point search.Examples:* all points of any length arefound.A all points with exactly thepoint number "A" are found.A* all points of any lengthstarting with "A" are found(e.g.: A9, A15, ABCD).*1 all points of any length with a"1" at the second place arefound (e.g.: A1, B12,A1C)B12, A1C).A*1 fall points of any length withan "A" at the first place and a"1" at the third place arefound (e.g.: AB1, AA100,AS15).FixpointThe point found is a fixed point.MeasurementThe point found is a measuredpoint.2/5The point found is point number 2of a total of 5 points in thisrelevant job.Scroll within all pointsmatched.Re-enter the search criteria.

EDM SettingsThe EDM settings contain adetailed menu with selectionfields for required settings.EDM SETTINGSEDM Mode :Prism Type :Prism Const:Guide Light:IR_FINERound0 mmOFF Dist ModeWith TCR instruments, differentsettings for measurements withvisible (RL) laser (optional) forextended range and invisible (IR)EDM types are available.Depending on selectedmeasuring mode the selectedprism types are different.With the RL-EDM eachobject in the beam ismeasured (possibly branches,cars, etc.).Wrong settings by theuser (e.g. wrongselection of target type or EDMtypesetting) can yield unusableresults.WARNING:Reflector-free:The visible laser beammay only be used within acontrolled area (refer to"UserManual", chapter "SafetyDirections") and must hit a nonreflecting material at the end of itsintended path.Long Range to prisms:This mode is only permissiblefrom a distance of 1000m (3300ft)from the telescope. No personsmay stay within the beam path upto 1000m (=controlled area; referto "UserManual", chapter "SafetyDirections").11

Automatic Target Recognition (ATR)TCA and TCRA instruments aremotorized and equipped withAutomatic Target Recognition(ATR) coaxially in the telescope.The guide light (EGL), mountedon the telescope, is optional.These instruments permitautomatic angle and distancemeasurements to normal prismsand reduce the tedium of precisevisual sighting to prisms.The prism is sighted with theoptical sight only. Initiating adistance measurement will turnthe instrument with the help of themotors to sight the prism-centreautomatically.The angles V and Hz aremeasured to the centre of theprism completion of the distancemeasurement.As with all otherinstrument errors, thecollimation error of the automatictarget recognition (ATR) must beredetermined periodically (Referto chapter "Checking andAdjusting").Reflected light or lightfrom an outside source(e.g. head lights of a car) caninfluence ATR measurements.20

FunctionalityThe built-in Automatic TargetRecognition ATR transmits alaser beam. The reflected light isreceived by the built-in camera(CCD). The position of thereceived light spot with respect tothe centre of the CCD iscomputed and the offsets areused to correct the horizontal andvertical angles. The offsets arealso used to control the motorswhich turn the instrument so thatthe crosshairs are centred on theprism.In order to minimize the times formeasuring, the crosshair is notmoved to the exact centre of theprism. The offset can be up to5mm.Then the Automatic TargetRecognition ATR measures theoffsets between the crosshair andprism centre and corrects the Hzand V angles accordingly.Therefore the Hz and V anglesare measured to the prism-centre,regardless of the crosshairpointing precisely to the centre ofthe prism.V-offsetHz-offsetCentre ofthe prismCrosshairTC700Z10421

ATR-Mode22If the offset is more than 5mmwhen the prism is exactly alignedand in faultless condition, theAutomatic Target RecognitionATR must be recalibrated. Ifexcessive offsets occurfrequently, contact your LeicaGeosystems agency.The following functionsare valid only for TCAand TCRA instruments.This mode permits the automaticrecognition of stationary targets.The observer must first use theoptical sight to target the prismapproximately so that it is locatedwithin the telescopic field of view.When the distance measurementis triggered, the motors move thecrosshair close to the centre ofthe prism to make distancemeasurement possible.

Automatic Reflector SearchIf the reflector is in thetelescope's field of view, thecrosshair is automaticallypositioned to the reflector when ameasurement is triggered. If thetarget is not within the telescope'sfield of view, an automaticreflector search is startedThe shape of the search windowis rectangular and the definedarea is scanned line by linestarting in the center of thesearching window.ATR-search procedurecan be stopped at anytime with the CE key.Repeated presses on the key triggers asearch procedure with everwidening field of view.23

Free Station50The application "Free Station" isused to determine the instrumentposition from measurements to aminimum of two known points anda maximum of five known points.It supports measurements topoints using either distances andHz- and V-angles (typical 2 pointresection) or angles only (typical3 point resection) or acombination of angles anddistances to different points.Only for TC(R) auto instruments.After the instrument hascalculated the currentstation from the measured points,the telescope is automaticallypositioned on every followingtarget point. Just make sure thepoint number is entered and thepoint was found in memory or thatafter entering it manually, the button is pressed.HTC700Z90NThe following measurementssequences to target points arepossible:1. Hz- and V-angles only.2. Distance and Hz- and V-angle.3. Hz- and V-angles to somepoint(s) and Hz- and V-angleplus distance to other point(s).E

The final computed results areEasting, Northing and Height ofthe present instrument station,including the instruments Hzcircleorientation.Standard deviations and residualsfor accuracy assessments areprovided additionally.Measurements and results(position, standard deviations andresiduals) are always recorded tothe internal memory, provided theinternal memory is set as the DataStorage media.All displays shown areexamples. Local softwareversions may differ from the basicversion.51

Measuring Facilities52The points can be measured intelescope face I or II, or a mixture(I + II), the sequence is of nosignificance. E.g. first point intelescope face II, last point intelescope face I + II, second pointin face I, etc.Measurements made inboth telescope faces arechecked for gross errors toensure that the same point hasbeen aimed at.If a target point is measuredseveral times in the sametelescope face the last validmeasurement is used forcomputation.Measurement restrictions:• 2 face measurementsFor measurements in 2 faces,the reflector height and therefraction coefficient must bekept the same for both facesfor the same target point,although it is permissible tochange these parametersbetween different target points.An error message will begenerated if the reflector heightchanges between face I andface II while measuring to thesame target point.• Target points with 0.000heightTarget points with 0.000height are discarded forheight processing. If target pointshave a valid height of 0.000 m,use 0.001 m to enable it for heightprocessing.

Computation ProcedureThe computation procedureautomatically defines the calculationmethod, e.g. 2 point resection,3 point resection withangles only, etc…).If more than the minimumrequired measurements areperformed, the processing routineuses a least squares adjustmentto determine the plan position andaverages orientation and heights.1. The original averaged face Iand face II measurementsenter the computation process.In case of multiplemeasurements to the sametarget point, only the lastmeasurement for each faceenter the computation process.2. All measurements are treatedwith the same accuracy,whether these are measured insingle or dual face.3. The final plan position (E, N) iscomputed from a least squaresadjustment, including standarddeviations and residuals for Hzangleand horizontal distances.4. The height of the station (H)including the standard deviationand residual is calculated fromthe averaged heights (based onthe original measurements).5. The Hz-circle orientation iscomputed with the originalaveraged face I and face IImeasurements and the finalcomputed plan position.53

Sets of Angles MeasurementsIntroductionThis optional set of angles application is protectedby a license code.It is used to determine angles to target points ofwhich the coordinates do not have to be known.As an option their distances can be measured, too.This program includes methods of testing andanalyzing measurements.In this way, measurement data can be tested foraccuracy before leaving the current setup.With motorized instruments (TC(R)700auto) targetpoints can be aimed at automatically requiring onlyfine aiming. This prevents the selection of wrongtarget points.79

80On TC(R)700auto instrumentsfine aiming can be automatedusing ATR (Automatic TargetRecognition), if the targets havereflectors placed on them.Only the first measurement toeach target point has to be made,the rest of the measurements areperformed automatically by theprogram.At least two complete sets ofmeasurements in face I and faceII must be made for the requiredcalculations. The sets of anglesprogram saves the position ofeach target point, thecorresponding EDM-mode, thereflector height, the type of prism,the additive constant and theATR-status.All this data is used to completeall the further measurementscarried out by the program.The maximum amount ofmeasuremements that can bemade and saved depend on thememory capacity of theinstrument. However only the first64 measurements made in twofaces are used for thecalculations. For example 16 setsof 4 target points or 8 sets of 8target points, etc.The storage capacity ofthe instrument's memoryspace is limited to about8000 measurements.

Selecting Sets of Angles functionsThe Sets of Angles applicationis designed to enableprograms 1 to 6 to be processedin sequence from the top down.When one of the programs hasbeen processed, a [•] appears atthe front, with the exception ofthe configuration program.Before starting the program"Define Targets" we recommendthat the parameters for the"Configuration" are defined first.SETS OF ANGLES1 Configuration[ ] 2 Define Targets[ ] 3 Measure Sets[ ] 4 Calc.

All targets canbe targeted manually.If coordinate search is onin TC(R)auto instrumentsthen auto positioning is also ONas coordinate search only makessense if automatic positioningfollows.The set configurationremains saved even afterexiting the program.

Define target listIn this part of the program thepoint numbers of the targets andthe measuring sequence of thesubsequent sets ofmeasurements are defined. Amaximum of 24 target points canbe defined.The desired point numbers canbe entered manually or read infrom measured point or fixedpoint data in memory.The first 24 fixed pointsresp. the last (mostcurrent) 24 measurements in thememory are read in.DEFINE TARGETLIST 1/4Pt 1: 100Pt 2: 101Pt 3: 102Pt 4: 103Pt 5: ------Pt 6: ------ Read in fixed points ormeasurements from data inmemory.The entire list is cleared (deleted)and a new one can be defined.Moves back to progam selectionwithout saving any data.Confirm defined list. The pointnumbers are brought into thecorrect sequence. Programmoves back to programselection.After calling up the "Setsof measurements"program the target list can nolonger be edited.85

Sets of measurements86If the point numbers of the targetpoints listed are stored in memoryof the instrument then automaticinstruments position themselveson the target point.In the configurations menu theoptions "AutoPosit." and"SearchCoor" must be set to"On".We recommend startingthe measurements inface 1.If the defined point numbers arenot stored in the instrument'smemory or if the defined targetpoints are stored but"SearchCoor" in theconfigurations menu is "Off", thefollowing message appears:Unknown position ofPtId: 100Search / Enter newcoordinates or sightmanually to target.Each target can be measuredmanually. The following isdisplayed on the measurementscreen.Starts searching for a target point.If the point is stored in memory itcan be selected from the display.If the point is not stored itscoordinates can be entered. Inboth cases the following appearson the measurement display.

The measurement display is setup as follows:MEASURE Set: 1 1/3Point: 4PtID : 103TgHt : 0.000 mHz : 250.0000 g IRV : 333.3333 g118.660 m Once the current set ofmeasurements has beencompleted the display movesback to the program selectionmenu.If the current set of measurementare not yet complete thefollowing message is displayed:Incomplete measurem. toPtId: 100 missing faceor pointfrom all sets.Is only available after each targethas been measured at least once.The current target is measured.The first line displays the currentset of measurements. The nextline shows the current point to bemeasured. Point number,position and elements ofmeasurment are also displayed.Reflector height can be enteredindividually for each point.87

88The currently displayed point canbe measured by pressing, DIST+REC or ALL ,after selecting EDM mode, thetype of prism, the prism constantand the ATR status.With automatic instruments ATRcan perform fine aiming. Forevery measured point theinstrument saves the currentposition, the type of prism, theprism constant, the EDM mode,the ATR status and the currentreflector height.In the following second face resp.in the following sets ofmeasurements these parametersare automatically applied to eachnew target. If the set parametersare changed for a target alwaysthe latest (newest) settings areused.If errorneously a wrongtarget, a wrong prismconstant or a wrong EDM mode isselected the measurement can berepeated.Select the errorneous point of theset with the arrow keys and repeatthe measurement.MEASURE Set: 1 1/3Point: 2The EDM mode, the typeof prism and the prismconstant can be selected and setusing the short-cut SHIFT+EDMas displayed on page 87.

Switching functions onand off (e.g. ATR) can bedone with the short cut SHIFT +FNC (FNC menu is called up).After completing the firstmeasurment of all defined pointsin face 1, motorized instrumentsposition themselves automaticallyon the current point to bemeasured in face 2 (dependingon the settings in the configurationsmenu).If in the configuration menumeasuring method I/IIàI/II wasselected, make sure that all pointswere measured in both faces.Only then will bedisplayed, meaning that automaticmeasurement is now possible.For automatic measurementsall target pointsmust have prisms and the ATRmust be on.If ATR is not on at a target, theinstrument stops at that target.The point has to be measuredmanually.89

Preparing a code listWith the computer program"Codelist-Manager", included inthe "Leica Survey Office"program code lists with up to ,200 codes with descriptions,attributes etc. can be preparedeasily and quickly, meaning thate.g. instead of Info1/ Attrib1, "Pkt-Art" may be defined. The definedtext is then display on theinstrument's screen when theapropriate attribute value isentered.The program enables theassignment of so called quickcode numbers to the individualcodes.The completed code list can thenbe loaded into the "Data ExchangeManager" (also includedin the "Leica Survey Office"program) of the instrument.Codeblock SearchesBasically there are two ways ofentering codes and attributes intothe list or selecting them from thelist.1. Directly in the measurementdisplay "Measuring &Registering" or in the"Surveying" application. Thesecodes are point referenced andare not saved right after theywere entered or selected butonly together with the nextmeasured point data. (ALL orREC-fixed key). The codeblockcontains the same pointnumber as the measurement.109

Determining Instrument ErrorsThe calibration contains thedetermination of the followinginstrument errors:• Hz-collimation• V-index (simultaneouslyelectronic level)Opens the menufunctions.Shortcut to the function"CALIBRATION".To determine instrument errormeasurements must be made inboth telescope faces.Either telescope face may be thestarting point.The user is guided clearly throughthe procedure. As a result, awrong determination of instrumenterror is eliminated.With motorizedinstruments a switch tothe next telescope face takesplace automatically after ameasurement. The surveyor onlyhas to make the fine adjustments.CURRENT CALIBRATIONHz-Collim. : -0°00'27"V-Index : -0°00'12"ATR Hz-Coll: -0°00'30"ATR V-Coll: +0°00'05"CALIBRATION MENU1 Horiz. Collimation2 Vert.

Theinstrument should be secure andfirm, and should be protectedfrom direct sunlight in order toavoid thermal warming on oneside only.145

Line-Of-Sight Error (Hz-Collimation)cV-Index (Vertical Index Error)i146TC700Z16TC700Z13The line-of-sight error or collimationerror (C) is the deviationfrom the perpendicular betweentilting axis and line of sight.The effect of the line-of-sighterror to the Hz-angle increaseswith the vertical angle. For horizontalaimings the error of Hzangleequals line-of-sight error.The vertical circle should readexactly 90° (100 gon) when theline of sight is horizontal. Anydeviation from this figure istermed vertical index error (i).By determining the vertical indexerror (i) the electronic level isadjusted automatically.

ATR collimation150(Available for TC and TCRautoversions only)The ATR collimation error is thecombined horizontal and verticalangular divergence of the line ofsight from the axis of the CCDcamera. The collimationprocedure includes, optionally, thedetermination of the line-of-sighterror and the vertical-index error.The correction for the ATRcollimation errors is alwaysapplied regardless of the "ON/OFF" status of the Hz-correctionsetting.(see section "Anglesettings").To define the ATR collimationerror, a prism must be accuratelytargeted at a distance of about100 m. The target must lie within±9° (±10 gon) of the horizontalplane. The procedure isanalogous to that of determiningthe V-index error.V-componentHz-componentCentreof prismAim the reticle exactly at themiddle of the prism.Starts the calibration.The two-axis compensator isturned off automatically whendetermining the ATR collimationerror.Crosshair1100Z30

After the first measurement iscompleted there is an automaticswitch to the second telescopeface.180°If the differences of the horizontaldirection and vertical angle isoutside of ±27' (±0.5 gon), anerror message is displayed.Otherwise the following isdisplayed.ATR-COLLIMATION 1ATR-COLLIMATION 2Hz :200.0000 gV :300.0000 gHz:+ 0.0000 gV :+ 0.0000 g180°Aim the reticle exactly at theprism in the second face andtrigger the measurement with.TC700Z18Hz :V :Quit the menu.0.0000 g100.0000 gSight accurately at aprism +/-100m away !ATR-COLLIMATION No.of Meas: 1m.F.Hz Col : +0.0018 gm.F.V Col : +0.0036 gMore Measurements 151
