Trimble Servo and Robot Tutorial
Servo and Robot Tutorial
Servo Layout
Servo Setup
To work in servo mode
To setup a Robot’s instrument parameters
Radio channels
Index/collimation corrections
To measure in DR mode
Connect external battery to instrument (using 571208068)
Connect the LM80 to the external battery pack on the adjacent port using (148-CGEOD600STRT)
Start The LM80 Software
Press the Start button and select the LM80 software from the menu
The Robot icon on the start up screen will indicate that this is an LM80R –and has the advanced servo and robotic drivers loaded
Auto-Detect
If the LM80 is connected it will automatically turn on the instrument and auto-detect
Electronic Leveling
The LM80 will show the electronic leveling system, and allow you to fine level
Press OK to continue, and the unit will go through a routine to initialize it’s compensator
EDM Corrections
Pressure and temperature readings can be input to correct the EDM (unless you are doing precise engineering, a seasonal average is fine)
You will then return to the main menu
Instrument Control Panel
Tap the instrument icon to activate the Instrument Control Panel
Here you can turn DR measuring and the Tracklighton or off
Basic Measuring
“Measure”to take a shot
In this screen, the LM80 emulates a normal total station screen
“HD/VD”to change the display to Horizontal and Vertical Distance
“Set HA”to set the instrument angle to a set orientation (e.g. zero)
“Turn to”to turn to a specific angle (e.g. 90)
Setup and Layout
Use the LM80 Software in the normal way
Press “Aim”when doing Stake out, the LM80 will automatically turn the instrument to the required direction
Power Down or Go Robotic
After working connected to the instrument you can select “Setup Robotic”to continue in Robotic mode
Alternatively you can “Exit”the program from the main menu
Shut down instrument
Shut down LM80 software
Setup Robotic at Instrument
Select “Setup Robotic”
Select a radio channel and address
Can only be done connected to the instrument
Avoids connection interference
Setting up for Robotic
Change the target type and set the search window if required
After “Finish”you will be ready to connect to the remote radio
Robotic Layout
Robotic Setup
Connect the LM80 to the radio (using 148-CGEOD600STRT)
Use the bottom radio port
The top radio port is used to provide power to the RMT when not using the power rod
There is no need to connect to the instrument first unless you need to change any instrument parameters
Auto-detect
Switch on the LM80 and start the LM80 software
It will auto-detect the radio and switch on the instrument
You will go through the normal instrument leveling and compensator initialization
Hint: If the LM80 cannot connect with the instrument, try switching the instrument on by pressing the black button on the front panel
Robotic Layout
Use the LM80 software in the normal way
The Robotic advantage is live tracking of our position as you layout
You will get coarse direction information and then a bulls-eye when you are close to the layout point
Instrument Control Panel
The instrument will track the active target, if you lose contact with the target, there are several things you can do
Press the instrument icon to open the Instrument Control Panel
“Joystick”to turn the instrument in the right direction
“Search”to scan for the target within a search window
“Turn to”to go back to a known point
Return to Instrument or Power Down
To Stop Robotic
Choose “Return to Instrument”to reconnect directly with the instrument
Or “Exit”the software from the main menu –this will power down the entire system
To restart in Robotic, to re-start the LM80 software and the LM80 will auto-detect the radio and turn the instrument back on
Instrument Parameters and Settings
Instrument Settings
Connect the LM80 to the instrument and launch the LM80 software to turn on the instrument
“Settings and Preferences”from the main menu
Select “Instrument Settings”
Instrument Settings
Here you can access all of the instrument settings in one location
Instrument Control Panel
Corrections and settings
DR or IR Target settings
Radio settings
Adjust instrument to correct instrument mechanical errors (recommended once a month, or every day if doing precise engineering)
Select the correction and follow the instructions
Refer to the 5600 manual for more information
