  • Page 30: Absolute Distance Meter (Adm)

    Absolute Distance Meter (ADM) Description The Absolute Distance Meter of the ATS600 uses the wave form digitizing technology, which is a specific form of time-of-flight distance measurement system. It allows a measurement speed of up to 1 kHz and supports meas- urements to reflectors as well as non-contact measurements to surfaces dir- ectly.

  • Page 31: Automatic Target Recognition

    These values are precisely determined in the factory. In the field the additive constant can be verified through a sensor check or compensation process. ☞ Refer to the Tracker Pilot Reference Manual on details of the ADM check and compensation process. Reflector constant Glass prism reflectors like the Tooling Ball (TBR) have an internal reflector constant, which causes an apparent increase in the distance measurement.
