Target Manager

The Target Manager is a place where you can manage your EDM (electronic distance measurement) targets. You can create, edit, copy, and delete targets.

The Target Manager is divided into 2 sections: Backsight and Foresight.

Note: Leica users should refer to the Leica version of the Target Manager topic.

Target Manager: Backsight

Use the Backsight screen to define your backsight target and enter a backsight target height.

Target

Press this button to select a backsight target from the Prism Selection window.

Target Height

Enter the height of your target here.

Press the Set Default Height button to assign the default height to this Target Height field. The default height is defined in the Default Settings screen.
EDM Mode

Use this field to select the EDM Mode you would like to use. You will only be able to select an EDM mode that corresponds to your target type.

Prism Constant

This field will display whatever prism constant that you entered for the selected target.

OK

This records the settings you have just made, closes the Target Manager, and returns you to the MapView.

Target List

Press this button to access the Target List. The Target List consists of user-defined and default instrument targets. Here you can create, copy, edit, and delete targets.

Default Settings

Press this button to access the Default Settings screen. This is where you define the default target heights.

Cancel

Press this button to discard any changed made to the Backsight dialog and returns you to the MapView.

Target Manager: Foresight

Use the Foresight screen to select the foresight target and enter a target height.

Target

EDM Mode

Use this field to select the EDM Mode you would like to use. Typically you will want to select an EDM Mode that corresponds to your target type.

Use Temp. Height

Press this button to activate the Temporary Height function (button is active in the above image). To enable the temporary height be used, you must press the Use Temp. Height button. Once activated, the following measurement will use this temporary height but it will be a one-time measurement, and then the system will immediately revert back to the height defined in the Target Height field. This is handy if you need to take a quick shot using a different height such as when measuring an invert.

Press the Set Default Height button to assign the default Temporary height to this Target Height field. The default height is defined in the Default Settings screen

This field will display whatever prism offset that you entered for the selected target.
