Point Numbers and Point Search
Letters from A to Z andspecial characters are
not incremented.
Point number is defined as thecurrent point number in allmeasuring dialogues. Thenumber at the end of the currentpoint number is incremented by 1.The +1 incrementation step isfixed. If at the end of the pointnumber there is no incrementa-tion, then a number is added afterit has been automatically saved.
Examples:Current pointnumber : 12AAfter saving : 12A1Current pointnumber : A999After saving : A1000
Individual point numbers
In the Measurement &Registering menus and in thepoint recording menu, it ispossible to switch between thecurrent and individual pointnumbers. (see FNC menu,"Insert").

FIND POINT < 2/5>Job : PROJ_OSTPtID : P13Type : FIXPOINTE : 128.400 mN : 244.000 mH : 2.500 m
Direct searchBy entering an actual pointnumber (e.g. "P13") all points withthe corresponding point numberare found.
Example:Input: "P13"As an example, 2 fixed points and3 measurements are found. Youcan page through the match
selection using .
FixpointThe point found is a fixed point.
MeasurementThe point found is a measuredpoint.
2/5The point found is point number 2of a total of 5 points in thisrelevant job.
Scroll within all pointsmatched.
Re-enter the search criteria.
If no suitable point can befound the user is notified
by the error message "Point notfound".
The point search is a globalfunction used by applications tosearch for internally storedmeasuring points or coordinates.It is possible for the user to limitthe point search to a particular jobor to search the whole memory.
Fixed points are always displayedfirst matching the relevant searchcriteria. If several points meet thesearch conditions then the pointsare arranged depending on "age".

Point search is always startedwith the last recorded point.The last entered/measuredpoints are displayed first; fixedpoints before measured points.

Wildcard Search
The Wildcard search is indi-catedby a "*". The asterisk is a placeholder for any following sequenceof characters.
Wildcards are always used if thepoint number is not fully known,or if a batch of points is to besearched for.
Starts point search.
Examples:* all points of any length are
found.
A all points with exactly thepoint number "A" are found.
A* all points of any lengthstarting with "A" are found(e.g.: A9, A15, ABCD).
*1 all points of any length with a"1" at the second place arefound (e.g.: A1, B12,A1C)B12, A1C).
A*1 fall points of any length withan "A" at the first place and a"1" at the third place arefound (e.g.: AB1, AA100,AS15).

EDM SettingsThe EDM settings contain adetailed menu with selectionfields for required settings.
EDM SETTINGS
EDM Mode : IR_FINEPrism Type : RoundPrism Const: 0 mmGuide Light: OFF
Dist ModeWith TCR instruments, differentsettings for measurements withvisible (RL) laser (optional) forextended range and invisible (IR)EDM types are available.Depending on selectedmeasuring mode the selectedprism types are different.
With the RL-EDM eachobject in the beam is
measured (possibly branches,cars, etc.).
Wrong settings by theuser (e.g. wrong
selection of target type or EDM-type setting) can yield unusableresults.
WARNING:Reflector-free:The visible laser beam
may only be used within acontrolled area (refer to"UserManual", chapter "SafetyDirections") and must hit a nonreflecting material at the end of itsintended path.Long Range to prisms:This mode is only permissiblefrom a distance of 1000m (3300ft)from the telescope. No personsmay stay within the beam path upto 1000m (=controlled area; referto "UserManual", chapter "SafetyDirections").
