1. Standard Deviation This allows you to configure the required precision of the DR measurement before the distance will be accepted The distance measurement process will be carried out by the instrument until the preset standard deviation value has been achieved The default standard deviation value is 0 003m Setting this value to a higher number gives shorter measurement time but is less accurate especially when measuring to surfaces at greater distances or at oblique angles to the line of sight e Weak Signal This allows you to accept a DR measurement that is below the normal instrument specification This is useful when measuring to poor reflective surfaces or when trying to achieve the maximum range of the instrument e Min Max Range This allows you to specify the DR measurement interval For example when you measure to a small object at 50 m with a background object at 200 m set the min max range from 2 m to 100 m The distance meter is then tuned to provide a distance within the specified range and to ignore any signal from outside the defined range By default the min max range is 2 300 m 86 Trimble SPS Series Total Station User Guide Instrument Technology 6 Beam Divergence All distance meter measurement beams diverge as the range from the instrument increases The divergence of the distance meter beam relates to an increase in the size of the area being sampled not to a degradation of the measurement precision See figu
