Leica 1200 Robot

Howdy TW, glad to see you found beer leg!
I am still struggling to get my Leica TCA 1100 to talk to my recently delivered DC 50.
John E has been less responsive these last few weeks than I thought he would be.
I will keep you posted.
Leica 1200 Robot..Adam
I know, does the one your using have it?
Yes it does Adam
Then you shouldn't experience too many of the problems mentioned above.
Just remember to wear safety vests wrong side out. You'll see what I mean.
Keep an eye on your angles, if they are constantly changing while you are moving you're probably locked, but if you are not sure stand still and cover the prism with your hand, if you lose lock it's got you. I always thought that was a quick and easy way to make sure the gun is locked onto you and not a tail light.
Things to watch out for: Pieces of quartz in mortar joints, reflective tape, holographic stickers on the backs of road signs, road signs, tail lights, etc.
All of these are from experience.
Learn to use your EGL's and you should be fine. Leica robots track really well for the most part, though.
One other thing I like to do is to watch the coded linework in map view. This is always a quick QC on the robot tracking.
