Target Manager: Leica Instruments

Total Station Toolbar | 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. Leica Geosystems uses a different method for determining prism offsets as they have a value called a Leica Constant. See the help on the New or Edit Target screens for information on how to calculate a Leica Constant.

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

Target Manager: Backsight

Use the Backsight screen to define your backsight target, choose a measure mode, and enter a backsight target height. Tap on the Backsight tab at the top of the screen to access the Backsight section

Target

Use this field to select a backsight target from the Target List.

Target Height

Enter the height of your target here.

Press the Set Default Height button to assign the default Target 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. Typically you will want to select an EDM mode that corresponds to your target type.

Leica Constant

This field will display the Leica constant associated with your target. See the New or Edit Target Help for an explanation of how to compute a Leica constant. This will be especially important if you are using a non-Leica 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. Here you can create, copy, edit, and delete targets.

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, choose a measure mode, and enter a target height. You also have the option of using a temporary target height. Tap on the Foresight tab at the top of the screen to access the Foresight section.

Target

Use this field to select a foresight target.

Target Height

Enter the height of your foresight 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.

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 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. Typically you will want to select an EDM Mode that corresponds to your target type.

Leica Constant

This field will display the Leica constant associated with your target. See the New or Edit Target Help for an explanation of how to compute a Leica constant. This will be especially important if you are using a non-Leica 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. Here you can create, copy, edit, and delete targets.

Cancel

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

Press the button labelled with the desired prism to use to set it as the Prism for either the backsight or foresight.

Target List

Press this button to access the Target List. Here you can create, copy, edit, and delete targets.
