LASER RANGE FINDER

• Ref Para 14.2.4
• How to Use a Laser Range Finder
• Warning
• - Position Error
• - Ensure Present Position
• - Check LRF Data
• Note

  Setup page.

17
LASER RANGE FINDER

• Set the COM Port field to COM Port 1 (advanced
  function set only).
• Set the Configuration field to Standard (advanced
  function set only).
• Using LRF procedures (initiated from the LRF),
  determine the range of the desired point in the
  field of view, then transfer the data through the
  interface cable to the DAGR.
• The DAGR automatically collects the coordinate
  information sent, displays LRF waypoint data, and
  prompts the operator to confirm LRF waypoint
  coordinates.

18
LASER RANGE FINDER

1. The waypoint is stored and displayed as an
   LRF-NNN waypoint. The LRF prefix denotes the
   waypoint as a laser range finder waypoint, and N
   represents the waypoint number. The azimuth and
   range data to the LRF waypoint is also displayed.
   Use the cursor control keys to scroll down and
   view LRF waypoint position coordinates.
2. Push ENTER to acknowledge.
3. Verify the LRF waypoint is stored using the
   Waypoints page.

19
LASER RANGE FINDER

• Use the Waypoints page and Waypoint Editor page
  to check laser range finder waypoint data (e.g.,
  position, elevation, azimuth, slant range, EPE,
  etc.).
• Note
• - Sort LRF Waypoints
• - FS Prefix

20
