3. Tuning the Steering The steer tuning process is decoupled from the elevation tuning process However the same procedure applies Follow the steps as detailed in the Tuning the Elevation section It may be necessary to return the elevation parameter after any changes are made to the steering parameters and vice versa The tuning of the steering depends very much of the position of the Control Points The current Correction for the front of the machine is calculated at the Control Point Front Depending on the Position of the two masts which determine the machine orientation and the Position of the Control Points the Correction for the front of the machine changes Machine Configuration PaveSmart 3D TR 53 Machine Configuration PaveSmart 3D TR 54 a Control point front b Control point rear c Correction steering front d Steering length e Masts S The Position of the Control Points influences the tuning of the Front tuning parameter G TCPS27 radios worldwide Checking TCPS radio modem settings Storing new TCPS radio modem settings Radio Modem Configuration The radio modem is delivered with an operational frequency band between 2401 2471 MHz which is approved world wide Changes to the standard frequency band are only possible with the external radio modems TCPS27S B R and not with the radio handle Changes can only be carried out at a Leica service centre if required

Zag The design data is often automatically calculated by CAD software It is important to note that volume calculation software may have different restrictions compared with alignment calculation software Therefore unexpected and very small line combinations may be created and go undetected Unexpected line combinations such as the zig zag line are very difficult for Leica PaveSmart 3D to calculate correct deviations for and can lead to serious problems in production If such a line segment is present this may lead to a erratic machine behavior These cases are rare but should always be remedied by verifying the CAD design prior to production 2 3 Overview Angle change between segments Rules for Defining Projects Leica PaveSmart 3D requires accurate design data to be able to control the machines move ments The machine is only capable of following the information contained within the design data therefore the quality of the final product is directly influenced by the quality of the data used The control process is also influenced by the design data The greater the number of segments contained within the design the greater the processing power required to run the system A balance must be found between the number of segments required to define the design and the processing power it will take The recommendations detailed below must be followed when creating designs Without following these rules Leica Geosystems canno
