Trimble SX12 Laser Pointer White Paper 6
Laser/EDMWorkflowinStandardModeforMeasureTopo
When the laser is positioned on the desired object of interest and the user initiates a measurement (1),
the instrument will turn off the LP and re-aim so that EDM lands where LP was and then measure the
distance (2), then the instrument returns to the original position with the laser pointer turned back on
(3).
Laser / EDM Workflow in Tracking Mode for Measure Topo
Tracking mode is intended for fast, constant measurements in applications where potential degradation
in accuracy is acceptable in order to achieve the faster measurement speed. To achieve this faster
measurement, no positioning adjustment is done by the instrument, so any misalignment between the
laser pointer and the EDM beam will be incurred in the measurement.
