In 1994 we introduced the first flexible total station Geodimeter System 600 which made it possible for the user to physically tailor his or her total station to his her needs In 1998 Geodimeter System 600 Pro was introduced which included a number of technical improvements such as a faster CPU and faster and smoother servo positioning The first introduction in 2000 was the Geodimeter 600 ATS An instrument that can also be used for machine control To improve productivity of the Geodimeter System 600 even further a new Direct Reflex and servo driven model DR200 was launched the same year The Trimble 5600 series was introduced in 2001 and in 2002 came the introduction of DR Standard and DR300 The system includes of course all the features that are typical for Geodimeter such as servo assisted drive optional numeric or alpha numeric control units keyboards tracklight tracker optional radio side cover optional and RS 232C communication A Geodimeter CU General Comments about this manual If you or your colleagues have any comments on this manual we would be grateful to hear from you Please write to Trimble AB Technical Information Box 64 SE 182 11 DANDERYD Sweden Or send an e mail to info trimble se Glossary of terms used with Geodimeter CU Area File A M key dH amp dV Geodimeter CU General A file in a Geodimeter CU memory device that holds known coordinates Pno
