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 recommended to check and adjust the instrument from time to time.
This means that the horizontal and vertical angles are corrected twice: first by the determined ATR errors for Hz and V, and then by the individual small deviations of the current aiming. iCON robot 60/iCON builder 60, Check & Adjust...
Select your instrument and tap the arrow. Select Sensor Calibration. It is recommended to use a clean Leica circular prism as target. Do not use a 360° prism. Select the incl. ATR Calibration option if you like to calibrate the ATR.
