The mode selection logic allows choosing the nearest (‘first’),
the farthest (‘last’) or the most reflective (‘auto’) target. Besides,
you can exclude all targets that are closer than the predefined
distance (gating distance selection, see below).
5.3. Mode switching procedure
By pressing M button (5) (Fig.1) when the System is in READY
mode, you enter the Mode selecting state. Pressing the M button
sequentially scans the Modes. The Mode under selection is
indicated on the Display by flashing of the selectable feature.
The "flashing" feature can be selected by pressing the A button
(6). If you don’t find some of the modes described below, it
means they were not installed on your system. Two modes,
“Codes” and “Recall” have submenus. You enter submenu by
pressing the A button from the corresponding mode. After that
you can select the sub-item with M button and choose your
option by pressing the A button. Each time when you make your
choice, you return to the READY state.
Note: Depending on user’s requirements, the unit can be made
with a special sub selection, providing only the options required
for the particular task.
Note: Depending on the software installed the situation when
the mode is accessible but inoperable also may occur.
There are two preset modes, Standard1 (Meters, Degrees,
Degrees, Crosshair reticle, Auto target selection) and Standard2,
which open the mode trek. After you have selected it, you can
14
operating buttons and after 8 seconds enters the passive zero
power state.
Note: If you set the gating distance larger than any accessible
target, you will be unable to obtain any result even if the target
reflection is high (see below).
If the A button is held (pressed) the System automatically
enters SCANNING mode. At this mode, the System repetitively
performs distance measuring and displaying. The time interval
between measurements is approximately 0.25 second.
The maximum measuring distance range for most objects will
be about 4000 meters. Ideally reflecting objects can be measured
at 4500 meters distance. The maximum measured distance varies
greatly depending on the reflectivity of the target, weather
conditions and more.
Target reflectivity depends on its color, surface finish, shape
etc. Bright colors are more reflective than darks. A polished
surface is more reflective than a rough one. Larger targets are
easier for distance measuring. Measuring a target faced at 90
o
(perpendicular to the laser beams path) provides optimal results.
Bad weather conditions (rain, fog, snow, mist) will reduce the
maximum measured range. Bright sunny days will reduce
performance as well. While the unit will work through many
glass types, measuring through glass will affect the results. Hand
tremor also influences the results. Use tripod to measure distance
to far-away objects.
The unit can estimate distance to up to 7 targets simultaneously.
