Where there are differences between the various models they are clearly When measuring distances to a reflector with EDM mode "IR" this telescope type uses a wide visible red laser beam, which emerges coaxially from the telescope's objective.

3 Instruments that are equipped with a reflectorless EDM additionally offer the EDM modes "RL" and "RL-Prism". When using these EDM modes a narrow visible red laser beam is used to measure - - OverviewContents - 6 Introduction .. 9 Operating the 18 Measuring Preparation / Setting up 26 FNC Key .. 50 Settings .. 93 EDM Settings .. 98 File Management .. 103 Start-up sequence .. 107 COMM Parameters .. 111 Data Transfer .. 112 System Info .. 113 Instrument Protection with PIN .. 114 Care and Storage .. 115 Safety Directions .. 122 Technical Data .. 143 International Limited Warranty, Software License Agreement .. 153 Index .. 9 Special 10 Important 11 Technical terms and 12 Area of 15PC Program Package Leica Geo Office Tools (LGO-Tools).. 15 Installation on the PC.

Standing axis tilt is not an instrument error and is not eliminated by measuring in both faces. Any possible influence it may have on the Hz-direction resp. V-angle is eliminate by the dual axis error (Hz-collima-tion)The line-of-sight error is the devia-tion from the perpendicular between tilting axis and line-of-sight. This could be eliminated by measuring in both (Vertical index error)With horizontal line-of-sight the V-circle reading should be exactly 90 (100gon). The deviation from this values is termed V-index (i).Plumb line / CompensatorDirection of gravity.

It contains several auxiliary programs in order to support your use of the on the PCThe installation program can be found on the CD-ROM supplied.

10 Please note that LGO-Tools can only be installed on computers with MS Windows 2000, XP and Vista operating systems.)Any previous versions of LGO-Tools on your computer must be uninstalled first before installing the new the installation call program " " in the directory \LGO-Tools on the CD-ROM and follow the input instructions of the installation program. Program contentAfter successful installation the following programs appear:Tools Data Exchange Manager For data exchange of coordinates, measure-ments, codelists and output formats between instrument and PC. Coordinate EditorImport/Export as well as creating and processing of coordinate files. Codelist Manager For creating and processing of codelists. Software Upload For loading system software and EDM-software.)For EDM Software upload only LGO/LGO-Tools Software Version or higher must be used for error free using the correct upload Software can permanently damage the instrument.
