Measurement¶

If the coordinates of the target points are not yet known (from network establishing survey for example), the targets definition can be created from quick new measurements.

The program is interactive. It will give instructions in the terminal at each step. For each point some data is requested, then the target must be aimed at.

Caution

The appropriate prism type and target height needs to be set on the instrument before recording each target point.

This is needed, because the automated measurement programs support target series with mixed reflector types. The prism types are set according to the targets definition during the measurements.

Requirements¶

GeoCOM capable robotic total station with ATR

Usage¶

iman measure targets¶

Record new target points for automated measurements.

The program can be used to record target point definitions for use in automated measurements. The process is interactive, and instructions are given at every step.

The appropriate prism type and target height needs to be set on the instrument before recording each target point. The program will automatically request the information from the instrument and prompt for confirmation (they can be corrected in the prompt if necessary).
