We have pretty much the same setup you have, a Leica 1200 with a RH16 handle and a Trimble Nomad DC?ÿ (SurvCE) with a Parani SD1000 serial on it with ...
Panasonic Toughbook CF 52 and CF 54. The 52 is a little old, but still working fine. 54 has more ram and a faster cpu, so a little better than the 52....
There is nothing more?ÿ precise than a total station and a leica circular prism on top of pole. Setup the gun about 20' from the pole. Set the pole on...
I've been using a Geomax Zoom90 for 4 years now. I had a?ÿ seamless transition from a Leica TCRP robot to the Geomax, considering that I was using the...
@norman-oklahoma Rough staking for footings and rebar, then nails hammer drilled in each corner on top of the footing is the most accurate way. You ca...
@jpb I'm glad my Geomax Zoom 90 doesn't have any of these problems. I have my glasses and my vest on all the time. I keep the pole in the shortest pos...
@timd1971?ÿ CR+ are actually Geomax Zoom90s with a CR+ sticker on them. We own one. Leica equivalent would be TS15?ÿ according to?ÿ our local Leica s...

Make sure your robot and data collector are set to run continuously. Do not allow them to go in sleep mode. You can save some power by timing out the ...
Lee is right. Active prism is the best, less frustrating way to go. Unfortunately a Trimble S series robot does not work with SurvCE and it is pretty ...
I am using reflective sheet targets every day with pretty consistent results with 2 face readings. I believe the key to accuracy is to set them far?ÿ ...
