Electronic level
- The Electronic level screen appears automatically when you start a conventional survey. To view the screen at any time:
- Tap the instrument icon in the status bar and then tap and hold the Level button.
- Tap and select Instrument / Electronic level.
- If the instrument is not level enough in the Electronic level screen appears, you may get a tilt error. To bring the electronic level into range, use the tripod legs to level the instrument, using the tribrach circular bubble as a guide.
-
When the instrument appears level in the tribrach circular bubble, use the footscrews to level the instrument using the Electronic level screen as a guide.
If accuracy is important, do not disable the compensator. If you do disable the compensator, horizontal and vertical angles in the instrument are not corrected for mis‑levelment errors.
- If the instrument is a Trimble SX10 scanning total station, you can capture a snapshot of the view through the plummet camera. Select the setting most suitable to the lighting conditions at your setup from the White balance field. See Instrument camera options.
- To automatically capture the image when you tap OK in the Electronic level screen, make sure the Auto capture snapshot option is selected in the Options screen.
- To manually capture the image, tap in the Electronic level screen.
To disable the view through the plummet camera, clear the Show video check box.
- Tap Accept.
- To perform a compensator calibration after leveling the instrument, tap Calib. See Instrument adjustment.
