Configuring GeoLock
Once you have setup your job and total station, you need
to power on your GPS receiver and establish
communication.
1. Attach the communications cable, if applicable.
2. Open the Remote Control or Remote Shot screen.
3. Set your EDM mode to Track. This is important for
the localization process, explained later.
4. Tap the satellite icon in the Command Bar to open
a list of GeoLock options.
5. Tap Settings from the list to open the GeoLock
Settings screen. (You can also access this screen by
tapping Job > Settings > GeoLock…)
The options available in the GeoLock Settings screen will
vary depending on if you are using a Holux, generic
cable, or generic Bluetooth GPS receiver.
6. Make sure the Enable GeoLock checkbox is checked. If
not, tap it to enable it.
7. From the Model field, select Holux if you are using a
Holux CompactFlash GPS receiver or select Generic
NMEA for any other receiver and configure the
communication settings accordingly.
If you are using a Bluetooth GPS receiver, select
Bluetooth for the Serial Port and then tap Bluetooth
to configure the receiver as described on Page 320.
8. If you check the Use 3D GeoLock item, the GPS
elevation will also be used when calculating your
GPS position, resulting in the vertical angle of the total station
changing accordingly when using the GeoLock feature. Since
uncorrected GPS elevations are less precise than the horizontal
component, using this feature can result in less aiming accuracy
unless surveying in mountainous terrain.
