    SpatialAnalyzer interfaces with the Sokkia Net1 using the Theodo- lite Manager via a Bluetooth or RS232C (Serial Port) connection. This quick start guide will cover required Sokkia Net1 settings along with step by step instruction for using the Sokkia Net1 in SA.

     

    Before attempting to connect to SA, first choose your preferred con- nection on the Net1.


    1. Enter the configuration menu (Figure 5-80).

     

     

     

     

     

    1. Select Communications (Figure 5-81).

    Establishing Bluetooth Connection on PC


    1. Use Bluetooth wizard installed on PC to create a new connec- tion (Figure 5-85). Be sure the Sokkia Net1 power is on.

    1. The Bluetooth wizard will search for the device (Figure 5-86).


    1. The Bluetooth manager will complete the connection and display the COM number being used (Figure 5-87). Remem- ber this number as it is needed inside of SA to establish con- nection.


    1. Now the Sokkia Net1 is a recognizable connection for Blue- tooth. Each time the Sokkia Net1 is powered the user must enter the Bluetooth manager and activate the connection (Figure 5-88).

    The following topics will be covered:

    • Selecting a Reflector

    • Single Point Measurement

    • Perimeter Scanning

    • Target Tracking

    • Auto Measure Points

    Selecting Target Reflector


    1. Select the options button in the interface (Figure 5-2).

    1. Select desired reflector type (Figure 5-4) .

     


     

    Single Point Measurement

    1. Specify Group and Target Name.

    2. Sight Target.


    3. Select Query or Record (F3) in the interface. Query will force the instrument to calculate a measurement. Record (F3) will send the measurement to SA (Figure 5-5).

    Perimeter Scanning

    1. Measure points defining the area to scan (Figure 5-6).

    1. Construct a perimeter from the measured point in SA under


      Construct>Perimeter (Figure 5-7).


    1. Two types of perimeters exist in SA, open and closed. A single perimeter can be changed from open to closed in the perim- eter properties dialog (Figure 5-8).

    1. Set the scan properties for the appropriate perimeter. If the perimeter is closed the scan will be bounded by the perime- ter. If it is open, the scan lines will be perpendicular to the pe- rimeter.


    1. The user can specify the distance between scan lines and points per scan line (Figure 5-9). In addition the user can also specify line length for open perimeters. The orientation of the lines to the perimeter can be controlled by the Grid Rotation field.


      To measure a Perimeter, first select Active in the user interface (Figure 5-10) and then select a perimeter from the Treeview in SA. Once the perimeter is selected, select the measure button.


    The scan will start and lines will be constructed (if option was checked). Points will be spaced per user setting. A point will always be measured at the beginning and end of each line.

    To stop a scan, press the cancel button in the progress dialog.

     

    Target Tracking

    Figure 5-102. Auto Measure mode.

    The Sokkia Net1 is capable of tracking a prism target.


    Simply select track and start moving the prism (Figure 5-11). The Net1 will track the prism. If the record option is check, measurements will be sent to SA while the prism is being moved.

     

    The Sokkia Net1 can also be used in the SA command Auto Mea- sure. This command will drive the instrument to points in a group and allow a measurement to be recorded.

    To perform the Auto Measure, select Instrument>Automatic Measurement>Auto Measure.

    Select the group to measure and the dialog in Figure 5-12 will appear.


    This will allow for a single point to be measured or an entire pass be performed. Choose Entire Pass and the instrument will drive to the first point.

    Sight the target and press Record (F3) in the instrument interface. Once the measurement is recorded the instrument will drive to the next point.

    Total Stations Interface

    The Total Station Interface is designed for single station use and is modeled after the laser tracker interface, as many of the measure- ments and operations overlap. The following guide describes its use and capabilities.

    To use the Total Station interface, you must first configure your instru- ment settings based on the instrument QuickStart guide:

    • “Leica TDRA6000 and TS30 Total Station” on page 248

    • “Leica Nova (MS60, TM60, TS60) and Leica Viva (TS16)” on page 258
