Total stations

| |

• X-PAD Ultimate allows to connect and operate with total stations.

• In this chapter are explained the dedicated functions to manage total stations connected to the software.

• To work with a total station, the current instrument profile must be a total station.

• Mechanical total station control panel: accessing and understanding the control panel when working with a mechanical total station.

• Robotic total station control panel: accessing and understanding the control panel when working with a robotic total station.

• Working with a robotic total station: basic steps to work with a robotic total station.

• Station setup: understanding the different station setup methods.

• Station setup tools: understanding the station setup tools.

• Set the target type: how to change and customize the list of targets.

• Reflectorless measurements: how to perform measurements using reflectorless function of a total station.

• Target manager: how to check the list of targets and add new targets.

• Total station e-bubble: how to access the total station e-bubble.

• Atmospheric coefficients: how to change the atmospheric coefficients.

• Defining the prism search area: how to define a prism search area.

• GeoTRAil: how to use GNSS from the controller to search for the prism.

• E-Bubble with total station: how to enable and use the e-bubble instead of the TPS pole bubble.

• TPS Basic application: how to use the TPS Basic application to perform simple measurements.

• Search fixed target: how to use the function to search for fixed targets to exclude them from prism search.
