Automatic Reflector Search
If the reflector is in the telescope's
field of view, the crosshair is
automatically positioned to the
reflector when a measurement is
triggered. If the target is not within
the telescope's field of view, an
automatic reflector search is started.
Instruments equipped with the option
PowerSearch can be switched to
PowerSearch mode for a quick
detection of prisms.
The shape of the ATR search window
is rectangular and the defined area is
scanned line by line starting in the
center of the searching window.
Depending on the working mode of
the instrument different sized search
windows and different search
strategies are used.
The dimension of the search window
in RCS mode can be defined in the
"RCS Searching Window" function. In
RCS mode, a working area can be
additionnally defined. This area is
automatically scanned if the local
search was not successful.
• ATR and LOCK modes:
The operator stands at the
instrument and can manually position
the telescope to the reflector at any
time. When a measurement is
triggered, a small search window (Hz:
2.5gon / V: 2.5gon) is used to find the
reflector as quickly as possible.
If the target is lost in LOCK mode
the path of the reflector is predicted
for a few seconds.
• RCS mode:
The operator stands at the reflector
and directs the telescope to the
target with his preferred positioning
mode (e.g. joystick). Because the
telescope can only be positioned
roughly when standing at the
reflector, bigger search windows are
used in RCS mode. If a search is
triggered manually by pressing ALL
or DIST the RCS Searching Window
(default size Hz: 30gon / V: 15gon) is
scanned starting at the current
position of the telescope.
• The dimension of the search
window in RCS mode can be
defined in the "RCS Searching
Window" function.
• A Working Area can be defined in
RCS mode. This area is scanned
automatically if the local search
was not successful.
