### Finding a Reflector

The Find function allows you to search in a spiral pattern to find the actual location of a reflector or T-Probe (6dof system only) with your Leica Tracker or Total Station device.

Finding a Reflector Location Using a Leica Tracker Device

1. Approximately point the Tracker laser to the location of the desired reflector. This can be done by one or all of the following:

   - "Releasing Tracker Motors" (6dof system only) and manually moving the laser to the location. Note: There is no need to release the motors on the 3D systems.

   - Using the control buttons on the "ADM" tab of the Machine Options dialog box...

   - Using the Overview camera ...

   - Using the Alt + left arrow, right arrow, up arrow, down arrow keyboard keys to move the tracker head. Use Alt + Space to stop movement of the laser.

2. Select the Tracker | Find menu item. The tracker device will search in a spiral pattern and take readings until the reflector sends the signal back to the device. This will locate the position.

Finding a Reflector Location Using a Total Station Device

   - Manually moving the laser to the location...

   - Using the Alt + left arrow, right arrow, up arrow, down arrow keyboard keys to move the tracker head. Use Alt + Space to stop movement of the laser.
