Distance measurement A laser distancer (EDM) is incorporated into the instruments of the TPS400 series. In all versions, the distance can be determined by using a laser beam which emerges coaxially from the telescope objective. ) Measurements to strongly reflecting targets such as to traffic lights in Reflector EDM mode without prism should be avoided. The measured distances may be wrong or inaccurate.
Reflectorless ) Be sure that the laser beam is not reflected by anything close to the line of sight (e.g. highly reflective objects). ) When a distance measurement is triggered, the EDM measures to the object which is in the beam path at that moment. In case of temporary obstruction (e.g. a passing vehicle, heavy rain, fog or snow) the EDM may measure to the obstruction.
Red laser to prisms ) Accurate measurements to prisms should be made with the standard program (Reflector EDM mode). Red laser to reflector tape The visible red laser beam can be used to measure to reflective foils, also. To guarantee the accuracy the red laser beam must be perpendicular to the reflector tape and it must be well adjusted (refer to the chapter "Checking and adjusting"). ) Make sure the additive constant belongs to the selected target (reflector). TPS400-5.0.

Pointsearch Pointsearch is a global function used by applications to e.g. find internally saved measured or fixed points. It is possible for the user to limit the point search to a particular job or to search the whole storage. The search procedure always finds fixed points before measured points that fulfill the same search criteria. If several points meet the search criteria, then the points are listed according to their age. The instrument finds the most current (youngest) fixed point first.
Wildcard search The Wildcard search is indicated by a "*". The asterisk is a place holder for any following sequence of characters. Wildcards are always used if the point number is not fully known, or if a batch of points is to be searched for. *1 All points of any length with a "1" as the second character are found (e.g.: A1, B12, A1C). A*1 All points of any length with an "A" as the first character and a "1" as the third character are found. (e.g.: AB1, AA100, AS15). Starts point search.

Calibrations Determining Line-of-sight error and V-Index The calibration contains the determination of the following instrument errors: • Hz-collimation • V-index (simultaneously electronic level) For determining the Hz-collimation or the V-index it is necessary to measure in both telescope positions. The procedure can be started in any telescope position. The user is guided clearly through the procedure. A wrong determination of instrument error is thus eliminated.
Line-of-sight error (Hz-collimation) V-Index (Vertical index error) The line-of-sight error or collimation error (C) is the deviation from the perpendicular between the tilting axis and the line of sight. The effect of the line-of-sight error to the Hz-angle increases with the vertical angle. For horizontal aimings the error of Hz equals the line-of-sight error. TPS400-5.0.1en The vertical circle should read exactly 90° (100 gon) when the line of sight is horizontal.
