3 AUTOMATIC TRACKING / AUTOMATIC COLLIMATION

3.2 Automatic Collimation

The function enables to collimate automatically so that the instrument searches for the center of the prism when the telescopic is aimed a prism roughly.

Use this mode for the object which is stable.

lYou can select Fine or Course mode for the distance measurement in auto-collimation.

The auto-tracking can be done correctly in the time of shaking prism, or in bad weather condition is not

 

good by the heat shimmer. The above caution mark will be displayed after 10 seconds and the auto-

 

tracking will be finished.
