The compensator index errors (l, t) occur, if the vertical axis of the instrument
and the plumb line are parallel but the zero points of the compensator and the
level do not coincide. The calibration procedure electronically adjusts the zero
point of the compensator.
A longitudinal component in direction of the telescope and a transversal com-
ponent perpendicular to the telescope define the plane of the dual axis com-
pensator of the instrument.
The longitudinal compensator index error (l) has a similar effect as the vertical
index error and effects all vertical angle readings.
The transversal compensator index error (t) is similar to the tilting axis error.
The effect of this error to the horizontal angle readings is 0 at the horizon
and increases with steep sightings.
1.
Select Tools in the Main Menu.
2.
Select Check & Adjust in the Tools menu.
3.
Select Compensator in the Calibration menu.
1.
Level the instrumentl.
2.
Press OK to measure the first face. No target has to be aimed at.
3.
OK to release the measurement in the other face.
Description
The vertical angle deviates from the required
horizontal / line-of-sight. Aim correctly at
the target point. Confirmation of the mes-
sage required.
Computed values out of tolerance. The previ-
ous values are retained and measurements
should be repeated. Confirmation of the
message required.
Measurement error appears when, for
example, there is an unstable set up. Repeat
the process. Confirmation of the message
required.
