Language software

Description of the System Zoom80 | 17

This software comprises the central functions of the instrument. It is also referred to as firmware.

The programs Survey and Setup are integrated into the firmware and cannot be deleted.

The English language is integrated into the firmware and cannot be deleted.

Numerous languages are available for the instruments. This software is also referred to as system language.

The system software enables a maximum of three languages which can be stored at any one time - the English language and two other languages. The English language is the default language and cannot be deleted. One language is chosen as the active language.

Software type Description

Application programs

A suite of optional survey-specific application programs is available for the instrument.

Some of the programs are activated freely and require no license key and others require purchasing and are only activated with a license key.

Zoom80 | 18Description of the System

Software upload All instrument software is stored in the System RAM of the instrument. The

software can be uploaded onto the instrument using the following methods:

• Using GGO the software is transferred via the serial interface to the CompactFlash card in the instrument, which is then stored to the System RAM.

• By connecting the CompactFlash card directly to the computer either via an internal card slot housing or an external drive, the software is transferred to the card, which is then stored to the System RAM.

Uploading firmware can take some time. Ensure that the battery is at



least 75% full before beginning the upload, and do not remove the battery during the upload process.

Whilst other CompactFlash cards may be used,



GeoMax recommends GeoMax CompactFlash ca rds and cannot be held responsible for data loss or any other error that may occur when using a nonGeoMax card.

Data conversion Export

Job data can be exported from a job in a variety of file types. A format can be defined in GGO Format Manager. Refer to the online help of GGO Format Manger for information on creating format files.

Import

Data can be imported from ASCII, DXF, GSI8 or GSI16 format.

Transfer raw data to GGO



Raw data can be transferred between the database on the CompactFlash card and GGO in two ways:

• From the CompactFlash card directly via a serial interface to a project in GGO on a PC.

• From the CompactFlash card using for example an OMNI drive to a project in GGO on a PC.

CompactFlash cards can directly be used in an external drive. Some PC card drives can require an adaptor.

3.5.1 Operating Principles

Zoom80 | 62Operation

Charging / firsttime use

Operation / Discharging

• The battery must be charged prior to using it for the first time because it is delivered with an energy content as low as possible.

• The permissible temperature range for charging is between 0°C to +40°C/+32°F to +104°F. For optimal charging we recommend charging the batteries at a low ambient temperature of +10°C to +20°C/+50°F to +68°F if possible.

• It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the chargers recommended by GeoMax, it is not possible to charge the battery if the temperature is too high.

• For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time (> three months), it is effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle.

• For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. We recommend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the charger or on a GeoMax product deviates significantly form the actual battery capacity available.

• The batteries can be operated from -20°C to +55°C/-4°F to +131°F.

• Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; high operating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.

3.8 Guidelines for Correct Results

Zoom80_009



Distance measurement

Very short distances may be measured reflectorless in IR mode to well reflecting targets. Note that the distances are corrected with the additive constant defined for the active reflector.

When measurements are being made usin g the red laser EDM, th e results can be influenced by objects passing between the EDM and the intended target surface. This occurs because reflectorless measurements are made to the first surface returning sufficient energy to allow the measurement to take place. For example, if the intended target surface is the surface of a building, but a vehicle passes between the EDM and the target surface as the measurement

Operation Zoom80 | 77

Zoom80 | 78Operation

is triggered, the measurement may be made to the side of the vehicle. The result is the distance to the vehicle, not to the surface of the building. If using the long range measurement mode (> 1000 m, > 3300 ft) to prisms, and an object passes within 30 m of the EDM as the measurement is triggered, the distance measurement may be similarly effected due to the strength of the laser signal.

CAUTION Due to laser safety regulations and measuring accuracy, using the Long Range



Reflectorless EDM is only allowed to prisms that are more than 1000 m (3300 ft) away.

 



Accurate measurements to prisms should be made in IR mode. When a distance measurement is triggered, the EDM measures to the object

which is in the beam path at that moment. If a temporary obstruction, for example a passing vehicle, heavy rain, fog or snow is between the instrument and the point to be measured, the EDM may measure to the obstruction.

Do not measure with two instruments to the same target simultaneously to avoid getting mixed return signals.

Aim360/ Track360

The Aim360 sensor permits automatic angle and distance measurements to prisms. The prism is sighted with the optical sight. After initiating a distance measurement, the instrument sights the prism centre automatically. Vertical and horizontal angles and the distance are measured to the centre of the prism. The Track360 mode enables the instrument to follow a moving prism.



As with all other instrument errors, the collimation error of the automatic aiming must be redetermined periodically. Refer to "4 Check & Adjust" about checking and adjusting instruments.

When a measurement is triggered while the prism is still moving, distance and angle measurements may not be made for the same position and coordinates may vary.

If the prism location is changed too quickly, the target may be lost. Make sure that the speed does not exceed the figure given in the technical data.

4.1 Overview

Zoom80 | 80Check & Adjust

Description GeoMax instruments are manufactu red, assembled and adjusted to a high quality.

Electronic adjustment

Quick temperature changes, shock or stress can cause devi ations and d ecrease the instrument accuracy. It is therefore recommended to calibrate t he instrument from time to time. This can be done in the field by running through specific measurement procedures. The procedures are guided and have to be followed carefully and precisely as described in the following chapters. Some other instrument errors and mechanical parts can be adjusted mechanically.

The following instrument errors can be checked and adjusted electronically: l, t Compensator longitudinal and transversal index errors

i Vertical index error, related to the standing axis c Horizontal collimation error, also called line of sight error a Tilting axis error Aim360 Aim360 zero point error for Hz and V - option

Every angle measured in the daily work is corrected automatically if the compensator and the Hz-corrections are activated in the instrument configuration. Select Main Menu: Config...\Instrument Settings...\Compensator to check the settings.

View current adjustment errors

The currently used adjustment errors can be viewed under Main Menu: Tools...\Check & Adjust...\Current Values.

Mechanical adjustment

Precise measurements

The following instrument parts can be adjusted mechanically:

• Circular level on instrument and tribrach

•Laser plummet

• Optical plummet - option on tribrach

• Allen screws on tripod

To get precise measurements in the daily work, it is important:

• To check and adjust the instrument from time to time.

• To take high precision measurements during the check and adjust procedures.

• To measure targets in two faces. Some of the instrument errors are eliminated by averaging the angles from both faces.

• Refer to "4.2 Preparation" to find more important points.

Check & Adjust Zoom80 | 81

Zoom80 | 82Check & Adjust



During the manufacturing process, the instrument errors are carefully determined and set to zero. As mentioned above, these errors can change and it is highly recommended to redetermine them in the following situations:

• Before the first use

• Before every high precision survey

• After rough or long transportation

• After long working periods

• After long storage periods

• If the temperature difference between current environment and the temperature at the last calibration is more than 20°C

Before determining the instrument errors, the instrument has to be levelled using the electro nic leve l. SHIFT (F12) to access STATUS Level & Laser Plummet, Level page. The tribrach, the tripod and the underground should be stable and secure from vibrations or other disturbances.

The instrument should be protected from direct sunlight to avoid thermal warming. It is also recommended to avoid strong heat shimmer and air turbulence. The best conditions are early in the morning or with overcast sky.

Before starting to work, the instrument has to become acclimatised to the ambient temperature. Approximately two minutes per °C of temperature difference from storage to working environment, but at least 15 min, should be taken into account.



Even after adjustment of the Aim360, the crosshairs may not be positioned exactly on the centre of the prism after an Aim360 measurement has been completed. This outcome is a normal effect. The telescope is not normally positioned exactly on the centre of the prism, to speed up the Aim360 measurement. These small deviations/Aim360 offsets, are calculated individually for each measurement and corrected electronically. This means that the horizontal and vertical angles are corrected twice: first by the determined Aim360 errors for Hz and V, and then by the individual small deviations of the current aiming.
