### Tracker Menu

Station Management – Brings up the tacker Station Manager dialog box. For details see the "Adding and Removing Stations" topic.

Initialize – This command initializes encoders and internal components of the Laser Tracker. This command is automatically called if PC-DMIS connects the first time to the Laser Tracker (emScon) controller once the tracker is warmed up. This is similar to a warm boot of a computer. The tracker goes through a series of movements to verify functionality.

Go Birdbath – Resets the Leica Tracker position by pointing to the BirdBath position. The beam is 'attached' to the reflector in the BirdBath and the Interferometer distance is set to the known BirdBath distance. This command is especially important for LT series trackers without integrated ADM. For such trackers, there is no other way to set the interferometer distance.

With the laser point at the BirdBath position, this provides a known and convenient location at which you can recapture the beam. This may be necessary if the beam to the Reflector has been broken.

Go 6DoF 0 Position – The Laser beam is sent to the opposite direction of the Birdbath, the 6DoF 0 position. At this location the T-Probe can easily lock on to the Laser beam.

Find – Searches for a reflector or T-Probe at the current laser position. The find function is performed based upon the Search Settings provided in the "Sensor Configuration tab".

Release Motors – Releases the horizontal and vertical tracker head motors in order to allow manual tracker head movement.

Laser ON/OFF – Toggles the laser to be on or off.

Important: Turning the laser on again requires about 20 minute to stabilize!

Nivel – See "Nivel Commands".

Probe Comp ON/OFF – When the probe compensation is "on", PC-DMIS will compensate by the radius of the T-Probe tip or the reflector sphere. Consider turning probe compensation "off" when measuring points for a bundle alignment to measure the center of the reflector or if design data is already offset compensated.
