LS10/LS15, Measurement Guidelines

It is recommended to perform a compass calibration before taking an angle
measurement. Refer to "14.6 Calibrating the Digital Compass".
Step Description
1.
To access the digital compass, select
Compass.
2. Within the Compass screen, the red arrow of the digital compass shows the
current viewing direction of the instrument. In the output field Current
Azimuth, the exact angle in reference to north is displayed.
The LS15 instrument uses the digital compass to calculate the coordinates of
a measured point. Together with the office software Leica Infinity, these
coordinates can be used to visualise the position of a levelling line.
Both the LS10 and LS15 are equipped with a rotatable horizontal circle. The angle unit
is 360° subdivided into 1° intervals. The gon division is printed in steps of 50 gon
below the 360° division.
