Remarks
The function waits until a new distance is measured and then it returns the angle
and the slope-distance, but no co-ordinates. Is no distance available, then it returns
the angle values (hz, v) and the corresponding return-code.
At the call of this function, a distance measurement will be started with the rapid-
tracking measuring program. If the EDM is already active with the standard
tracking measuring program, the measuring program will not changed to rapid
tracking. Generally if the EDM is not active, then the rapid tracking measuring
program will be started, otherwise the used measuring program will not be
changed.
In order to abort the current measuring program use the function
TMC_DoMeasure
This function is very good suitable for target tracking, where high data transfers
are required.
Note: Due to performance reasons the used inclination will be calculated (only if
incline is activated), so the basic data for the incline calculation is exact, at
least two forced incline measurements should be performed in between.
The forced incline measurement is only necessary if the incline of the
instrument because of measuring assembly has been changed.
Use the function
incline measurement. (For the forced incline measurement, the instrument
must be in stable state for more than 3sec.).
