New Firmware Simplifies Laser Tracker Operation
August 1, 2013
Hexagon Metrology has announced the availability of the Leica Absolute Tracker AT401 Version 2.0.
"This new firmware version offers improved system responsiveness compared to previous product generations," said a company spokesperson. "Together with PowerLock vision technology, enhanced wireless operation and out of the box measurements, the new firmware makes the Leica Absolute Tracker AT401 a portable 3D Absolute Tracker for traditional inspection tasks or for fully guided measurement processes. It is ideal for applications in the aerospace, wind or solar energy, shipbuilding or other industries where alignment and inspection of oversized parts is needed."
The Leica Absolute Tracker AT401 comes with a series of functionality improvements. Users can select between four predefined measurement profiles that adjust the instrument settings to any measurement condition. "Operators no longer need to worry about complicated settings like the number of samples or measurement frequency," said the spokesperson. "In addition to the standard mode for daily operation, users can easily change settings for applications that require speed or accuracy, or even for outdoor measurement tasks."
The AT401 now offers extended WiFi access point functionality for complex LAN setups. It is now possible to connect multiple devices, e.g., the system computer and an iPod with the Remote App for the SpatialAnalyzer application software, to the tracker controller. The new AT401 TrackerPilot includes a new graphical user interface intended to simplify the check and compensation process.
Though version 2.0 firmware will be included on new units, all existing AT401s can be updated to take advantage of the new functionality. The operator drags and drops the update file into the TrackerPilot and the rest is handled automatically. All existing AT401 users can download the new firmware from the Leica Geosystems website at: http://metrology.leica-geosystems.com/en/Downloads_6843.htm?cid=12564
