Introduction TPS1100 - User Manual 1.2.1en
6All TPS1100 instruments are
routinely supplied with a laser
plummet located in the vertical axis.
The TPS1100 can therefore be set
up quickly and accurately over the
ground point with the help of the red
laser dot.
The A-versions have an automatic
target recognition (ATR), which
permits rapid, fatigue-free
measuring. In ATR mode the fine-
pointing is automatic. In LOCK mode
an already-targeted point is tracked
automatically.
The EGL guide light is an optional
accessory for assistance with
targeting. It is located within the
telescope and it flashes, so that the
person carrying the reflector can
place this in the line of sight of the
instrument.
Introduction
TPS1100 stands for Total Station
Positioning System. The TPS1100
instruments are available as various
models with differing classes of
accuracy. New technologies have
enabled the measuring sequence to
be largely automated, bringing
advantages such as shorter
measuring times, simpler operation
and more efficient use. Further
elements in the basic equipment are
described below.
The Rversions have a laser with a
visible red beam. The EDM can be
switched between two operational
modes: measurements with normal
infrared or with the visible red laser
respectively. With the red laser,
reflectors are not required for
measuring distances. With infrared,
distances of up to seven kilometres
can be measured.
The RCS1100 remote control system
is an additional option, which allows
the remote control of all total stations.
The instrument can be controlled
either directly on the instrument or at
the RCS1100. Especially the
A-versions enable the surveyor to
work alone.
The measurements can also be
triggered, inspected and controlled
from the target area.
Leica Geosystems offers
applications programs for many dif-
ferent tasks in surveying. Just
choose the software which best
meets your needs.
Within the special GeoBasic
programming environment, you can
create your own application-specific
programs for the TPS1100
instruments.
