welcome to another TS16 LEICA Total Station tutorial and in today's video i'm gonna go through
the settings we're gonna have a look at some icons i'm gonna show you the prisms and at the end of
the video i'm gonna open a new job so let's have a look so if you watch my last video here i had
a look through that settings i covered all this here and today i'm going to be actually working
with the top icons here as i'm mostly going to be jumping using this one so first one here going
to be telling us about aim and search here as you can see this is manually now we can set it here as
auto aiming search and lock weight and lock filter learn and we can use the power search we're going
to be obviously using the power search mostly when we're going to be working with the preset you can
see here it even changed now for the prism but i'm going to jump here in the second that's what we're
going to be accessing from here from top left icon and then i'm going to set it as a manual aiming i
want it as a manual aiming i'm going to set it now and that's how it's going to be so we're manually
operating our total station so the next one here gonna be measure and targets and in here we're
gonna be changing the measure mode and the targets as well so as you can see here i can change to
measure any surface and that icon here actually is changing for that small little house and number
one here means that the instrument gonna be measuring only once so as you can imagine there's
a few options we can actually make instrument to measure a few times and take the average but
once here is well enough for us and that's how i'm gonna leave it we can also change here for
measuring continuously and as you can see that icon changed here a little bit so to be honest
once you're going to work a little bit with Leica you're going to see that icon you're going to know
what settings you got actually but i'm going to go back to the single shot and also from here
we can turn on and off the laser and you'll see now that's changing as well for the laser so we
know that our laser is on uh this is also good to know sometimes we forget we have the laser on so
you can have a look we laser on just turn it off obviously this is taking our battery so we always
have to be thinking about the battery unless we got plenty batteries spare and very important
thing here we're going to be accessing the targets so the targets here there was any surface
and what's the most important thing when we're going to be using the targets guys please make
sure you know what targets you are using as i seen already mistakes with it and once again we want to
make sure we're using the correct target and in here it's actually very good as well as you can
see i'm going to use a Leica prism 23.1 millimeter constant and you're gonna find that information on
the prism itself so if you're confused if you're not sure just double check your prism make sure
you got the same information on the prism as here on the instrument the good thing about this is
once i change this here i'm going to press ok you see that prism here to show you this i just maybe
changed quickly for Leica mini prism here like a mini zero so you probably see this one here
so it's actually representing here how the prism is looking so that's another one good thing i'm
telling you just to keep an eye on top there so the next one that instrument here we can actually
access a bubble here which we're going to be often using and we can change the faces here so wherever
you want to change the face you want to do another measuring with the other face that's the place to
do it and then we got the level bubble here so i'm going to press here yeah it's perfect that's what
we want i think we seen that on the other video so that's okay and i told you about that laser
you can see that is running here so i'm going to turn it off despite obviously i'm not running any
battery out as this is a simulator but i'm going to take the laser off and for the laser on and
off i'll typically use a button on the keyboard and that going to be mostly as well from that
CS20 controller so another information we got here on top that's the angles actually current angles
and then we got the distance distance to the target so the point we are measuring and the slope
distance as well so that's also useful too and that ad here can go online here we got a bluetooth
Leica exchange bMI 360 docs i've never used it and i don't think many people using this lake exchange
might be good but you need a subscription for it and that's going to be costing you money maybe on
some jobs that would be actually useful to get that information in and out but let's be honest
about it even the survey we are doing on site we can always take to the usb usb to the phone
and we can send it so i don't really think it's worth the money depending on the job obviously
and the last one is a battery here and we're gonna have a battery level here but we can access a few
more things as well change TS to GS i'm not gonna be doing here i'm covering only the total station
we're working here on site using total station only at the home here obviously that only brings
me back to the main money screen as you've seen before help please help i don't need any help here
and battery and memory here is quite useful as apart from battery obviously we can check how much
space we got on the USB or on the SD card and the internal memory as well so i'm gonna go back to
this one and we got the camera so we can actually access camera here as well it might be useful
as i said before where we're doing some measuring or we just want to keep the screen and then use
it maybe on some drawing or maybe even put it as our job photo so the next thing is the sketch pad
and as you remember guys every engineer should have a tape measure calculator and the notebook
is something to write on so by any chance if you forget that you can use this one here so you can
write something here some information whatever but i really recommend you to use just the paper
really so i'm gonna go back to the main money and we're gonna open a new job so there is a
few options we can actually open a job from here when we go points and lines data and we can jump
here to the job we got and we can create a new job from here but the easiest way actually gonna be
use our carousel here and then we're gonna tap here to create a new job so it's very easy it's
like for children really so just tap here uh name description and everything so maybe i'm
just gonna put a site inch control here at description and maybe main control
and creator i'm gonna put my name here some things might be actually useful as on some jobs it might
be two engineers using one EDM so i would actually prefer to keep it this way but i know i created
the job and that's my job obviously they can still mix within your job but at least i know
this is my job obviously i probably would still double check it but that's how i prefer and then
you got display in the job carousel yeah i want a display there obviously i'm going to be accessing
from that carousel after stowing job capture and image to display in the home screen so that's what
i said you could actually use the image there to keep it as your job but i don't need it now so
i'm going to store it now and that's my job here as you can see in carousel and guys that would be
all in today's video i hope you enjoy it we went to all the settings now and we actually open a
new job and in the next video tutorials obviously we're going to be creating the points we're going
to be importing data in and out the instrument and then later we're going to be doing all the
rest like stakeout reference line surveying and all the stuff so thank you again for watching
