The PS wo?t track a vest.

Magnet field allows you to open up the search area.....maybe try 20 degrees V and 30 degrees Hz. There is also a Setting for advanced tracking, prediction time and wait time. ?ÿHow arŽ? those set?

Hi all

Thanks for the help so far

Looks like my company havent purchased one of the RC devices?ÿ ?????ÿ

As far as data collector software, would that be "magnetfield"?

?ÿ

Many thanks

They need to buy one then because without it it is not a robotic total station and is pretty useless. It can still track but when it loses lock re-acquirring the target will be difficult unless you have someone behind the instrument.

What you have right now is a motorized total station with very limited robotic capabilities. Sucks to be you.

Without the RC-5 things get very interesting. I would find your "joystick" in magnet, turn on the layout lights, and then guide the unit to you (remember to turn off the layout lights...wastes batteries). Also remember the effective range on radio communications is limited without the RC-5...My guys have gotten to 500', but usually 300' is about the max (using an FC-5000). The RC-5 is $4-5k, but is worth the money. That said, if you have the hybrid module, that works even better for finding you.
