Getting started with the new Survey equipment
Basic operating procedures
The RS500 can be operated either
with the TR500 Terminal or by remote
control. However, the TR500 cannot
be used for running a survey, stake-
out or any of the other applications
available for System 500.
Used with an RS500, the Terminal
provides the general functionality to
set certain operation parameters, port
configurations and all transfer capa-
bilities, including the upload of new
firmware. Via the STATUS hard key
all status information is available.
For the majority of applications, the
RS500 has to be operated using
Leica Geosystems ControlStation™
or other appropriate reference system
control software. Using the RS500 with the TR500
Step 1: Power on
Turn on the sensor by pressing the
ON-button on the terminal. The
following screen will appear on the
display:
The RS500 has the same main menu
panel as the SR5xx sensors except
that the first 3 menu options are
removed. It is also not possible to
perform the real time configuration for
the RS500. This needs to be done
using remote control software. All
data management, job control and
sensor status operations required by
an RS500 user are possible using the
menu options shown above.
The RS500 CONFIG and STATUS
menus do only show those options
that are relevant to the operation of
an RS500.
Full details on the RS500 unique
operational procedures are given in
the Technical Reference Manual
(PDF Document), which is contained
on the SKI-Pro or ControlStation™
release CD.
