I have a setting in my Carlson Surveyor+ Data Collector using SurvCE 3.something when using robotics that specifies an A6 or A7 360 Prism.

Can someone tell me the difference between the two and any prism constant differences.

Thanks

Reflectorless or Omnidirectional?

it's hard to see what use a "Reflectorless Prism" could have. :-S
I was trying to think of the word. First i thought of "Directionless" but it almost implies "Pointless" which also doesn't sound very useful. 🙁
"Omnidirectional" sounds useful and important -- almost "Omnipotent". :-O

God that was a good laugh, thanks, it's probably a wise idea to follow up photos of the world's ugliest prisms with some levity. : )

Yes, you guys picked up on my err.................what happens when you type without thinking.

Obviously 360 prisms are not reflectorless and I appreciate the other helpful comments above.

Now back to real life......
