      Thanks! Simulator comes from SCCS website and I think you can get it again now. I downloaded it long time ago and then couldn't find it. This weekend I'll go through the net again and if found will add it to the description :)

    Working with another company, they issue me a Topcon GT Robotic Station and Tablet with Magnet Field Software. I really liked this software it would let you edit your instrument height even after setting up, working on vertical buildings this is a great feature, I had elevation benchmarks on every floor, after setting up my instrument on zero height with orientation or points, I could do a any surface shot to the elevation benchmark of the floor I was, do the calculation and edit the instrument height, for example if you're on 3rd floor your benchmark is 154ft, you shoot it and it gives you -1.3ft elevation result, that means your instrument height is 155.3ft, so you could edit the instrument height to 155.3ft for the rest of that set up you have elevation, Leica Captivate won't let you edit instrument height after set up, you can only play with your target height, which is what I do now, I wish the Captivate would change this.

    • @SITENG
      @SITENG  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I worked with Tocon too, not bad. I need to double check the Captivate but I believe I was changing tue target height like you say, although in old good TS06 I actually was changing in station 😁

    Hi Greg. What's the ideal laser plum intensity of a ts 16? Or you have no need to adjust it when you receive your EDM from the supplier? Thanks.

      Hi Jerome!
      Whatever you need really if you’re using it. It will be default set, yeah. Are you using it, or do you mean EDM laser?

    Hi fantastic channel real appreciate the information you providing.
    When doing a resection using retro targets is it better do I select the option of measure any surface?

    • @SITENG
      @SITENG  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's not better, but you can use it. I always try to use a retro target mode as this actually makes sure you shoot the targets right (if something will be on the way a bit, or the angle is bad retro mode won't give you the reading), but of course I use 'any surface' mode often myself as the targets are far etc (any surface and retro tape is the same constant)

    Hi. I have a question. I am a engineer from British army with degree in survey engineering, know how to use kit and have done construction jobs in army for last 15 years. I am now a manager with project management qualification and also degree in construction. Would I find site engineering job OK. Also I want to live in Lithuania and only work in UK for one project a year like 4 or 5 months. Would it be likely I could work weekends as well while I am over

    • @SITENG
      @SITENG  ปีที่แล้ว

      It's possible, but you will have to contact agencies etc. I was thinking of doing the same TBH. Probably that would be a setting out engineer/site engineer roles but it's doable. Senior roles are for longer. Most of companies (frames) are busy in the season and they're often need extra engineers, but you would have to look for work yourself anyway. You can try JRL for start as I know many army people got a opportunity there - you don't have to tell them straightaway you look only for few months 😁
