Leica 1200 Robot
I think that's what Mike uses. I am browsing El Boardo and about to pour another cup of coffee and then head on over to Keller and start learning the in's and out's of this instrument.
When Mike and I went and did that pool location survey a few days back, I was pretty impressed with the gun. It was the first time I had seen a robot in action. Mike has some work planned for me this coming week and I want to get down the basics on using a robot before doing anything that really counts.
Just call me Button Pusher guys
What data collector are you using, we use Allegro's running SurvCE on out 1201's and 1205's.

Very good gun, spend a good deal of time learning how to reacquire lock. All robots lose lock, just part of the limitations inherent with anything. The ability to get going again is very important. When all else fails, I jump into stakeout mode and stake the last shot if it is close, then go back to it and the gun will have the correct vertical. The lights are your friends, use them with the joystick feature to dial back in again.
Everything else is nothing you haven't seen before, just a matter of familiarizing yourself with where the menus are located.
If you use a clinometer to set the Zenith angle you can run the instruemnt left and right until you catch the lights then you can acquire lock with no problem. I use a 1100, and with a little experience getting lock back isn't too difficult.

I use a guy named Jason, he points the gun at me and operates the DC too!
Sometimes he uses me for the same thing.
OH HA HA HA 😉
Feel my pain, I bought an older used TCA 1103 without the EGL feature, so no lights. I can see where someone who had never used one would lose interest pretty quickly.
The DC is a Leica and the software is Carlson. I'm getting the hang of it, and like it was said, it's just getting familiar with the menus and so forth.
I do like what I have seen..:good:
The big difference in Leicas is whether or not it has "Power" in the name. Power search is awesome, just be careful as it can lock onto other things sometimes.

Power Search is an option.

I know, does the one your using have it?
