peer agreement (net): +1hidden point device Explanation: or "hidden point rod". My translation is extracted from my personal glossary of the Axyz software, Leica Geosystems' software that drives the "laser tracker" (I worked long for Leica G. before that company was purchased by another Swedish company). The "hidden point device" is a device (rod) with a defined length that is placed on a hidden point (a point hidden by the feature of some object, be it a hollow or behind an object), so that the laser tracker can define the position of a hidden point. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2013-01-07 15:28:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The laser beam reflects onto the "mire point caché", so that one can precisely define the position of the "point caché" thanks to the length or known position coordinates of the "mire point caché". I hope this is clear! |
