6.5 Guide light

6.5.1 Guide light 7

The guide light can be switched on or off manually and the blink frequency adjusted to one of 4 different settings.
The guide light consists of two red LEDs incorporated in the telescope unit.
When switched on, one of the two LEDs blinks to clearly indicate whether the person is to the right or left of the
en sighting line.
A person at a distance of at least 10 m from the tool and standing approximately on the sighting line will see either the
blinking or steady light more brightly, depending on whether they are positioned to the right or left of the sighting line.
The person is positioned on the sighting line when both LEDs are seen to have the same intensity.

6.6 Laser pointer 6

The laser beam projected by the tool can also be switched on permanently.
When switched on permanently, the laser beam is often referred to as a "laser pointer".
When working indoors, the laser pointer can also be used as an aiming device or, respectively, to indicate the direction
in which measurements are being made.
Outdoors, however, the beam is visible only under certain conditions so its use for this purpose is not really feasible.

6.7 Data points

The data from measurements taken with the Hilti total stations is used to generate measured points.
Similarly, these measured points and their position descriptions are used in applications such as "Layout" or to define
station locations.
Hilti total stations incorporate various features that facilitate and speed up the process of selecting points.

6.7.1 Selecting points

Point selection forms an important integral part of a total station system as points are generally measured and used
repeatedly for laying out, for stations, as orientation aids and for comparative measurements.
Points can be selected in a number of different ways:
1. From a plan
2. From a list
3. Manual entry
Selecting points from a plan
Control points (fixed points) are available for selection in graphical form.
