Topcon GTS 301 help?
Hello,
I am testing a new to me Topcon GTS 301d on my property today
. As I was taking a side shot, This appeared on my screen (the letter ??b? in place of the horizontal and vertical angle display, along with the occasional ??-c?) (See not so clear image) and I was not able to log the shot on my Data Collector (Topcon Ranger 200-Running Survey Pro 3.8).
I rotated to another side shot, and then the issue seemed to disappear and was able to complete my shots.
It was a chilly, windy day in Wisconsin. (36 degrees at time of use with wind gusts out of the NW of 15 mph).
Anyone experience this before? My best guess was that the cold and wind was affecting the total station? Maybe this Total station is getting sensitive in its older age?
The Data Collector slowed down a bit, but still worked well in the cold.
I hope to get out and do some more testing tomorrow (as time and weather permits). Any help, info, guidance and encouragement is appreciated.
Thanks!
