They are a specially designed retro reflector, specifically a corner reflector, that is used in the surveying and engineering fields to reflect the Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM) beam of a total station. The survey prism reflects the EDM beam back to its source with both a wide angle of incidence and with high...

Overview Using an Automated Motorized Total Station (AMTS) to track the progress or performance of a project design, or to monitor structures that are already in place, has many advantages… as long as the equipment is set up and positioned correctly. There are a few common issues, however, that tend to arise with the use of this type of automated land surveying equipment. These issues can typically be  minimized  or  prevented  by adhering to a few basic configuration guidelines for both the AMTS and its associated software. To get the best...

Specto Technology Announces Release of the Auto-Meteo Atomospheric Sensor for AMTS Units Specto Technology is pleased to announce the release of the Auto-Meteo which is a simple, effective, atmospheric sensor and datalogger that can be easily integrated with Automated Motorized Total Stations (AMTS). The Auto-Meteo was designed by Specto to take advantage of the usually empty ethernet port on the same modem used to control an Automated Total Station. The simple design and small size allow the Auto-Meteo to be integrated in to any AMTS installation with little to no modification of the...
