API Laser Tracker Commands

API Laser Trackers

API DI Virtual Level

Perform API Device Interface virtual level routine.

API DI iProbe Offset

Pop API Device Interface iProbe Offset Calibration window.

API DI iProbe Global

Pop API Device Interface iProbe Global Calibration window.

API DI iVision Dlg

Pop the API Device Interface iVision control/settings dialog.

API DI iVision Multi-SMR Timeout Seconds [t]

The automated Innovo multi-smr measurement has no error handling. This provides a maximum time to wait for the measurement to return success, so that the MP command can fail when appropriate. The time is designated by t ([ ] not part of string). 300 seconds is the default.

API DI iVision Measure Time Seconds [t]

This sets the acquisition time for each Innovo measured point. The time is designated by t ([ ] not part of string). 0.5 to 5.0 seconds is recommended. 0.5 seconds is the default.

API DI Perform iVision Multi SMR Measurement

Enable the Innovo camera, and put it in multi-SMR measurement mode. Return success only if the measurement succeeds.

API DI Enable iVision

Enable the Innovo camera for catching the beam.

API DI Disable iVision

Disable the Innovo camera.

API DI Run iVision Teach

This causes the API iVision dialog to display, waiting for you to click on the SMRs in the camera’s field of view that you would like the Teach Measurement (see below) to measure.

API DI iVision Teach Meas Iterations []

Sets the number of iterations designated by [] which the iVision Teach measurement will be performed.

API DI iVision Teach Meas XML Path [C:\\Temp\\TeachMeas.xml]

Sets the path for the iVision Teach measurement XML file designated by []. (Path shown as an example).

API DI Run iVision Teach Meas

This will run the iVision-taught points (see above) and will use the iterations and path set by the above commands.

Set Motor Mode Tracking

For API — put motors in “Tracking” mode. For the Radian, this can be used to tell the camera to lock onto the SMR.

API TTL Trigger ON

Set the external TTL trigger mode on for the next temporal scan measurement to use it.

API TTL Trigger OFF

Set the external TTL trigger mode off, so that the next temporal scan measurement will not use it.
