Compass

The digital compass is only available on the LS15 instrument.
The Compass screen displays the current compass reading.
You can use the digital compass to turn the instrument to a specific direction. For each
measurement taken with a LS15 instrument, the coordinates of a measured point are
stored. The estimated coordinates can be imported into Infinity to visualise the direc-
tion of a levelling line.

The digital compass is sensitive and can be interfered by magnetic fields. Avoid
using the compass in areas or environments that may interfere with the quality
of the compass measurements. The interference can affect the accuracy and
quality of the coordinates/positions determined.

For correct measurement results, it is recommended to perform a compass
calibration every time you set up the instrument. For this purpose, you can
define the compass calibration screen as start screen. Refer to "6.1 Work
Settings".
