Instrument Settings: Leica Total Station

If you have not yet configured total station settings for the project, you are prompted to do so when you select the Total Station survey method.

To configure a total station, in the Home screen tap Setup / TS Settings. The Instrument dialog opens with the following options:

Item	Option
Manufacturer	Select the manufacturer of the receiver.
Model	Tap Model to open a list containing all supported model types. Select the required model.
Connection	Select the medium you want to use for the total station connection: serial or Bluetooth. Select the correct COM port to use for the connection. To use a Bluetooth connection, you must first pair the total station with your PC. Use your PC's Bluetooth tool to do this. Once paired, a virtual Bluetooth COM port is configured. Use this one for the connection. To use the Leica Longrange Bluetooth, you need the TCPS ConfigTool to configure the settings. Contact your dealer if you have any queries.
Remote Trigger	Penmap enables you to take a measurement directly from the instrument, or/and from the Penmap Total Station button. To active this option, enable the Remote Trigger option box in the total station settings. When this option is used, Penmap does not use the current line of sight (light blue line) on the survey. To use this option, select the Q-Survey application (1) from the instrument’s main menu. To take a measurement you can press F1 (ALL) for Distance and Angle measurements, or press F4 to switch to the second page, then press F1 (DIST) and F2 (REC) for independent distance and angle measurements. After the first measurement, press Yes (F4) to confirm the message Recording to Interface. While in Remote Trigger mode you can also fire the instrument using the Total Station button on the Data Collection method bar.
