Carlson Surveyor 2 issue
I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me. I have this issue with my instrument I use at work, it’s a Leica TCP1201+ and I use Carlson software on a Surveyor 2 data collector.
I’m trying to find someone who is really techy about this stuff lol but I’ll do my best to explain. So basically I’ve had some rotational issues. Sometimes but not always, when I do an asbuilt and take a ton of shots, zero gets reset randomly and messes up all of the shots.
I’ll be taking a ton of shots asbuilting something, and when I stake out the backsite to check it turns to a completely different angle other than 0/360. I’ll then stake out some of the shots I took and they’re all fucked. This happens even if I never leave the “store points” screen. I know my routine and my job very well and it’s maddening that this happens and makes me look like a fool. We thought it was the instrument so we got a new one but it happened again today.
I’m wondering if it’s my human error, or something with the data collector? I just was wondering if anyone has ever heard anything like this. It only happens with this instrument and party chief, I switch between 5 chiefs as the companies only instrument operator journeyman. That’s why I’m having issues proving if it’s me, or proving that it isn’t me. Thank you so much.
