If a PS filter is active, PowerSearch ignores the prisms defined in the filter.
If a PS window is defined and active, PowerSearch is executed within the
defined limits.
If the search window is not defined and PowerSearch is started, the prism is
searched for with PowerSearch in the 360° window. The default search with
PowerSearch consists of a short swing in anti-clockwise direction followed by a
complete 360° turn in clockwise direction. If a prism is detected the movement
is stopped and an automatic aiming search is performed.
A PowerSearch filter can be applied to exclude disturbing prisms from Power-
Search.
The PowerSearch filter can be defined in two ways:
1.
Performing a PowerSearch scan:
Select the Filter learn bubble icon in the Aim & Search icon pop-up bub-
ble.
2.
Adding setup points to the PowerSearch filter:
In the Setup app, check Add target points to the PowerSearch filter
in the Settings, General page.
The PowerSearch scan finds prisms and other reflective spots in the surround-
ing of the instrument. Around each found prism or reflective spot, an exclusion
area is defined. The exclusion area has the dimension of Hz = ± 1 gon,
V = ± 50 gon and d = ± 12 m.
After defining the filter, the filter is switched on: Filter on is displayed in the
Aim & Search icon pop-up bubble.
