## Leica Laser Tracker: Introduction

Leica Trackers are laser tracker-based portable CMMs used to take measurements using the Leica T-Probe or reflector. The portable Leica Tracker is a line of sight sensor that can be moved around the part to access different features. The Leica Tracker provides a “Walk-Around” solution to measure even hidden points.

The Laser Tracker takes measurements of single points or scans to create any feature type, similar to a traditional CMM.

Note: To use a Leica device with PC-DMIS you must have your portlock programmed with the Leica interface option.

Important: The Rotary Table portlock option MUST NOT be selected when you are using a portable device since it will cause problems with your portable device.
