Icon Description 
fies Gë When a position status icon is displayed, the number of satel- 
H8 Be? lites currently used for the position computation are shown. 

If no position is currently available but satellites are being 

tracked then the L1 and L2 values (GPS only) or the G and R 

values (GPS & GLONASS) show how many satellites are 

being tracked. 

Ce The number of contributing satellites can differ from 
the number of visible satellites. This may be either 
because satellites cannot be viewed or the 
observations to these satellites are considered to be 
too noisy to be used in the position solution. 

SÉ Ce The number of contributing GLONASS satellites 

R= 0 could be zero if five or more GPS satellites are used 
for the position computation. The processing algo- 
rithm automatically selects the best possible set of 
satellite combinations for the position computation. 
A position computation with R = 0 is certainly within 
the specified reliability.

4.1 Instrument Setup 





Description This topic describes an instrument setup over a marked ground point using the laser 
plummet. It is always possible to set up the instrument without the need for a marked 
ground point. 


Ce Important features: 
e It is always recommended to shield the instrument from direct sunlight and 


avoid uneven temperatures around the instrument. 

The laser plummet described in this topic is built into the vertical axis of the 
instrument. It projects a red spot onto the ground, making it appreciably easier 
to centre the instrument. 

The laser plummet cannot be used in conjunction with a tribrach equipped 
with an optical plummet. 

Refer to "TPS1200+ Technical Reference Manual" for additional information 
on using the laser plummet.

Description 


Shield the instrument from direct sunlight and avoid uneven temperatures 
around the instrument. 


Extend the tripod legs to allow for a comfortable working posture. Position 
the tripod over the marked ground point, centring it as well as possible. 


Fasten the tribrach and instrument onto the tripod. 


Turn on the instrument by pressing PROG for 2 s. Press SHIFT (F12) to 
access STATUS Level & Laser Plummet, activating the laser plummet. 


Move the tripod legs (1) and use the tribrach footscrews (6) to centre the 
plummet (4) over the ground point. 


Adjust the tripod legs to level the circular level (7). 











By using the electronic level turn the tribrach footscrews (6) to precisely 
level the instrument.

step-by-step 


Instrument Setup 





The STATUS Level & Laser Plummet screen can be used to precisely level up the 
instrument with the electronic level using the foot screws of the tribrach. The longi- 
tudinal and transverse tilt of the instruments vertical axis is graphically and numeri- 
cally displayed. 


Press SHIFT F12. 

















Step |Description 
1. STATUS Level & Laser Plummet 
Use the foot screws to move the electronic level to the centre. 

Ce |The level moves linear with the inclination values <Tilt L:> and <Tilt T:>. 
On the screen closest to the circular level, the electronic level moves down 
if the value in <Tilt L:> gets bigger and vice versa. If the value for <Tilt T:> 
gets bigger the level moves left and vice versa. 

Ce |The electronic level never disappears even if the instrument is not level. 

2. When the electronic level is centred, the instrument has been perfectly 
levelled up. 
3: CONT (F1) to exit STATUS Level & Laser Plummet. 





For instruments with two displays: 
e The display closer to the circular level shows the movement of the electronic 
level in the same direction as the movement of the circular level. 


e The other display shows the movement of the electronic level in the opposite 
direction of the circular level movement.

e After averaging, the Mean page becomes available in MANAGE Edit Point: 


Point ID and accessible from the Survey application program SURVEY Survey: 
Job Name, Survey page. 


Averaging Defining the averaging mode and configuring the limits 
The averaging mode and the limits are configured in MANAGE New Job, Avge

Job/Editing a Job" for further details. 


Description of averaging modes

Description 





Average 


The horizontal and height distances from the measured points 
to the average are computed and displayed on the Mean 
page. Depending on the selected averaging method, the 
average will be computed weighted or arithmetic (no 
weighting). 





Absolute Diffs 


The same as for Average above applies for Absolute Diffs. 
Additionally, the absolute difference between two points 
selected from a list of measured points which are all stored 
with the same point ID are computed and checked for being 
within the defined limits.

TPS Corrections, projection distortion (map projection ppm), the height above reference datum 
GeomPPM page correction (height ppm) and an individual correction (individual ppm). 


e The calculation of the map projection ppm follows the formula for the Trans- 
versal Mercator Projection. The individual factors are: the scale factor of the line 
of projection central meridian, Gauss-Kruger = 1.0, UTM = 0.9996, etc. and the 
offset from the line of projection. 


e The calculation of the height ppm is derived from the height of the instrument 
station above the reference datum. Normally this is the height above mean sea 
level MSL.

20.3.1 Overview of Devices 


Description e A device is the hardware which is connected to the chosen port. Devices are 
used to transmit and receive measurement data in TPS mode and GPS real-time 
data in GPS mode. Devices are also used by TPS1200+ to communicate with 
the RX1200 controller. 


e Before using any device with TPS1200+ it is necessary to configure it and the 
interface with which it will be used. 
e Refer to "20.1.2 Configuring an Interface" for information on how to configure 
interfaces. 
e Refer to "20.3.2 Configuring a Device" for information on how to create, edit, 
select and delete devices. 
e Refer to "20.3.3 Controlling a Device" for information on how to configure 
additional device parameters. 
e Some devices may be used with different interfaces for different applications. 
For example, a radio can be used for remote control with TPS1200+ but also to 
send GeoCOM commands from a computer to TPS1200+.

<R-Time Mode:> None SmartStation is not to be used as a GPS real- 
time rover. 
Rover Activates a rover GPS real-time interface. 
<R-Time Data:> | Choicelist The GPS real-time data format which is to be 
received from the reference station. 
<Port:> Port to which the device is attached. 
Port 1 For communication and/or power. This port is 


located at the base of the instrument. 
For TPS1200+: 5 pin LEMO-0 


Port 2 (Handle) |Hotshoe connection for RadioHandle with 
RCS and SmartAntenna Adapter with Smart-

nication side cover. 


Port 3 (BT) Bluetooth module for communication with 
only Bluetooth capable devices. This port is 
housed within Communication side cover.

Field Option Description 





<Ref Sensor:> | Choicelist The receiver type used at the reference. If the 
GPS real-time data format does not contain 
the information of the receiver type certain 
corrections based on the information of the 
receiver type are applied in order to provide 
correct results. The GPS real-time data 
formats Leica, CMR and CMR+ contain this 
information. This is mainly important when a 
System300 receiver is used as reference. 


<Ref Antenna:> | Choicelist The antenna used at the reference. If the 
GPS real-time data format does not contain 
the information of the antenna certain correc- 
tions based on the information of the antenna 
are applied in order to provide correct results. 
The GPS real-time data formats Leica, 
RTCM v2.3, CMR and CMR¢+ contain this 
information. 


If the reference data is corrected by absolute 
antenna calibration values and a Leica 
standard antenna is being used on the rover, 
select ADVNULLANTENNA as reference 
antenna.
