Leica ATS600 Connection

 

The Leica ATS600 is a unique instrument that combines both precision reflectorless measurement with the more traditional Laser track- er measurement capabilities.

 

Prerequisites

 

Compensation

The ATS600 trackers and accessories can be compensated within Tracker Pilot (if you need the current Tracker Pilot you can browse directly to http://192.168.0.1 (or the trackers IP) and download Tracker Pilot from the controller).

 

Starting the Interface

  1. Select Instrument > Add and choose the respective Leica Tracker from the Add Instrument to SA dialog.

     

  2. Now just press the Connect button to connect using either the default or last saved settings:

    Alternatively, you can use the Connect drop-down menu and choose Laser Trackers. This option should be used if you know you need to change the IP address or want to access additional controls.

    When you do so you will be presented with a Connect to SpatialAnalyzer window. This window allows you to pick from the available instrument models both within your current SA job and also on other machines on the same network running SA. This selection establishes where the measurements will be recorded within which SA job. This dialog also offers options to rest Scan regions, drift points, or any other saved settings saved with the instrument station.

     

  3. Within the Leica LMF Connection dialog, enter the tracker’s IP address, or use the Discover IP button, and use the Ping button to test the connection if needed.

As soon as the button is pressed both the Serial Number and IP should be detected and set or you can just enter either manually: 

If more than one tracker is found on the network a drop-down list will appear for selection. If no tracker is found the IP will not update and you may need to check your computers network IP settings.

 

Default IP for the ATS600: 

The IP of your tracker is shown on the front LED screen of the controller. It can also be edited using Tracker Pilot. Once satisfied, press OK. The next time the interface is started, you can simply click the Run Interface by pressing Connect . This will use the last saved settings and automatically connect the instrument. The interface is now connected and ready for use.
