Sets of Angles
Introduction
This manual describes the "Sets of
Angles" program for the TPS1100
Professional series instruments.
Sets of Angles is used to measure
directions to targets for which
coordinates are not necessarily
known. Distance measurements are
optional.
It provides field checking and
analysis of measurements, while the
instrument remains setup on the
station.
The adequacy / accuracy of
measurement data may be verified
before leaving the observing station.
With motorized instruments, rough
pointing to each station is automatic,
the operator need only refine the
pointing before measuring. This
eliminates observations to incorrect
targets.
"Learning" occurs automatically as
you observe each target point in
Face I. This information is then used
to prompt you through the completion
of your measurements at the station.
A maximum of 64 measurements per
instrument station (in both faces) can
be handled in one calculation. For
instance, you may measure 16 sets
to 4 target points, 8 sets to 8 target
points, etc.

With Automatic Target Recognition,
fine pointing and measurement can
be automatic when the target is a
reflector. The operator makes only
the first observation to each station,
then the rest of the measurements
can be fully automated.
A minimum of two full sets must be
observed, and all target points must
be observed in Face I and Face II.
Sets of Angles has a "Learning
Phase" during which it "learns" the
positions and target Point Ids of the
points you wish to measure.
