Rose.
She sounds so sexy when she tells me the time on my pc.

I call the nice lady in my TSC2 "Terry Trimble". I also named my dog "PDOP", and my cat "Hi RMS"... Plus my dog just had puppies, which I've named "Initalziation", "Has", "Been", and "Lost". They eventually do come back.... 😛

Worthless?

AS3
Make it a female name.
That way you can turn her off when you don't want to hear her talk, and turn her on whenever you want.;-)
Loco and Moco (runs like a train)
Frick and Frack
Dill and Doe
:good:
we replaced Larry, our i-man that retired, w/ Larry the robot.
the retired Larry didn't seem too amused...poor guy.
Ralph.
Oh, wait!! You're talking about data collectors!! Never mind.
Crackhead
My last robotic instrument (Topcon 9005) was named "Crackhead"....
I would be in the middle of a project, and for no reason the instrument would start "wondering", turning aimlessly about... then, in a few seconds, it would return lock and we would resume working, until it had another episode.....
Frequently, out of frustration, I would yell at it... "HEY CRACKHEAD!, I'm over here!" 😉
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you...
Sibyl
Sibyl is sweet on the lips, but, may switch gears in mid-statement. One day everything is coming up roses, the next you are baffled with BS.
My Harem
Mine are named Ruby the Robot and Rita the Rover. They both talk to Bertha the Brain.
My Harem:
Ruby - Topcon 8005A Robot
Rita - Topcon GR3 Network Reciever
Bertha - Carlson Surveyor+
Dale Yawn
Savannah, Ga.
Mine is named Robby.
Should you choose a female name, be sure to explain this to SWMBO to prevent her hearing you talk in your sleep. Old girl friends and ex-wives names should definitely be excluded.
> ...Old girl friends and ex-wives names should definitely be excluded.
...lol Mr Cow. Sleep talking is just plain bad.
Just like you can't intermix equipment cables, odd shaped cones, or #7 pencil lead - it's always best to try and stick with the same hair color, and hopefully of similar length. It's amazing what SWMBO #3 or even #1 can find on your couch, truck seat, even a pillow....:-P
Mine got named "Arnie in a box" after my previous boss that partially retired.
We cal our Garmin GPS Garmella.;-)

Was there any pretty girls about?
I remember, as an instrument man, this would cause me to change my line of sight for a minute or 2....;-)
(Why do you think they called me)
Radar
The Leica 1203 is called the "Swiss Miss" because She's Always Right and You Just Don't Understand!
