1103 used as non-robotic

CHRIS L · Post by **CHRIS L** » Thu Apr 28, 2005 2:31 pm

Finally got our new Allegro CX Today with FG and am trying to using a Leica 1103 TCRA for non robotic work which seems to be working fine except when we do stakout....I want it to give me a stake out angle and distance and instead it giving me the robotic tracking/measure function....Its set on TPS robotic Geocom.....should I just set it to the other TPS series GSI setting to get what I'm looking for or is there another way around it.
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,

I would take a look at this movie. I think it might explain it.

It shows how to stake with a motorized instrument while standing at the instrument.

Thats where I would like to end up at...but the software skips the "Turn instrument to" screen and jumps right to the robotic tracking/measure stakeout .......what are the setting for to option out of the full robotic and go to Auto turn instruemnt

Hi Chris,

You need to make sure you have FieldGenius Version 1.2 installed because we added a feature that will help you with what you're trying to accomplish.

If you have 1.2 installed, go to Stake Settings and make sure you turn off "Robotic Staking". When this is unchecked and you stake a point, you will see the turn to screen telling you what angle to turn and distance to measure. You will also have the option of telling your instrument to turn to the stake point automatically.
