Leica Captivate- Did you know...

As mentioned in the last article, Leica Captivate offers a wide range of apps and it's likely you've never heard of most of them!

Therefore, we have started a series of articles, each of which is introducing a Leica Captivate app. If you often set up your Total Station using the resection method, then today’s app is for you – it will really reduce the time you need to complete the resection….

自动设置应用程序

As you know, in a resection you set up your Total Station over an unknown point and measure to two or more known target points. From these measurements the instrument will then calculate the coordinates of the setup position.

要使用此设置方法，您需要知道并执行以下操作

• Know which targets are around the location you are working and which to use
• Know the names of these targets in the control job (the point IDs)
• 从点列表中选择每个点。
• 瞄准和测量
• 重复以后的目标点

自动设置应用程序can automate a lot of these steps. Once the instrument is on the tripod and levelled, the app can be started. First, the job containing all needed control points needs to be selected.

Simply enter the name of the resection point being computed (and give this point a code if you like), the instrument height and the job where the target points are stored.

进入测量目标1panel, the Total Station will start turning and searching for targets. Once it finds a target you can enter the target height and select the target type and then pressF1 (Measure)测量要点。然后，仪器将再次转动寻找下一个目标。再次，输入目标高度和目标类型，然后按F1(Measure).

Once at least three points, which the app can match to control points, have been measured, a setup result is calculated and displayed. You can now view theSetup Results, check the quality, and view the setup points in the 3D viewer.F1(Set)将存储并使用此新设置。如果需要，也可以添加更多的设置目标。

如果所有设置目标具有相同的目标高度和目标类型，例如测量到永久安装的棱镜时，则设置甚至可以更快。在这种情况下，仪器可以自动测量所有目标。它将进行360°的转动并测量其发现的所有目标。然后，将使用选定控制作业中的控制点匹配控制点来计算新设置。

曾经是新的Setup Resultsare stored, the app is closed, and you can select any of the available Leica Captivate apps to start working.

This app can be downloaded from Leica myWorld and has a trial period, so please feel free to try it before buying. If you are interested in this app, please contact your local Leica representative.
