Check box
When this box is checked, the pole can be
held in a slanting position over the point to
be measured without checking the circular
bubble on the pole.
Measurements are reliable and accurate even
if the pole is not levelled as the tilt values
are calculated by an Inertial Measurement
Unit. Tilt values contain information about
the 3D position of the pole.
The measurements are immune to magnetic
disturbances as there is no magnetometer
used.
Tilt compensation also works with Navigated
and Code solutions. High accuracy positions
are recommended to speed up the tilt com-
pensation initialization.
Raw data logging is turned off when tilt com-
pensation is on.
When measuring a point, the pole tip must
be stable on the point while the pole should
be in slight movement. Tilt compensation is
indicated by an icon and the Tilt LED and is
maintained by natural pole movement, for
example while moving to the next point to be
measured.
Advantages:
No need to level the pole
Faster surveying procedure

and on.
