Page 19: Tilt Compensation
The automatic tilt compensation function of the instrument can reduce the influence of SA tilt on the measurement accuracy. When the function of 〈2-Axes〉in {Level & plummet} is switched on, the instrument can automatically correct the error caused by the SA tilt, i.e., it can compensate the VA/HA automatically. Stonex R20 – User Manual... - Page 20 If the instrument is set up on an unstable base (e.g. on a shaking platform, ship, etc.), tilt compensation should be switched off. This avoids unexpected error messages and interrupting the measuring process. Stonex R20 – User Manual...
