Target Pole
6.0
The target pole is an optional accessory for RouteScan. It allows the
measurement of points that cannot be 'seen' directly by the laser, such as the
gauge corner of the rail on an adjacent track.
It is comprised of:
•
Target Pole
•
Rail Pole
•
Pointed Foot
•
Rounded Foot
To measure a point using the target pole, load the Single Point screen and tick
the 'Target Pole' tick box. The software will automatically adjust the measurement
by the vertical height of the target.
When measuring to the Target Pole:
•
Ensure that the target surface is 'square' to the laser
•
Check that it is held vertically by using the bubble embedded in the top of
the pole – a 1mm offset of the bubble from the centre of the vial
translates approximately to a 0.5mm error in the X-Y measurement
