Check & Adjust Overview Description Leica Geosystems instruments are manufactured, assembled and adjusted to the best possible quality. Quick temperature changes, shock or stress can cause deviations and decrease the instrument accuracy. It is therefore recom- mended to check and adjust the instrument from time to time. This check and adjust can be done in the field by running through specific measurement pro- cedures.
During the manufacturing process, the instrument errors are carefully determ- ☞ ined and set to zero. As mentioned above, these errors can change and it is highly recommended to redetermine them in the following situations: Before the first use • Before every high precision survey •...
prism. These small deviations ATRplus offsets, are calculated individually for each measurement and corrected electronically. This means that the hori- zontal and vertical angles are corrected twice: first by the determined ATRplus errors for Hz and V, and then by the individual small deviations of the current aiming.
