Trimble S5 locking onto road signs while using active prism?
I’m relatively new to the Trimble S series robots so I may not understand exactly how an active prism works (MT1000). It was my understanding that the instrument would only lock onto the active prism when it could see the diodes, but I’ve had it lock onto road signs when the prism was nowhere near the sign. I’ve seen it lock onto the reflection in a window, but that makes sense because the diodes are also reflected in the window. It doesn’t help that the duplicate shot notification feature is broken in Survey Pro for the Ranger 3 (verified by Spectra support). Could I be doing something wrong or is this just something you have to work around?
