Description
The pole can be held in a slanting position over the point to be measured without checking the circular bubble on the pole.
Measurements are reliable and accurate even if the pole is not levelled as the tilt values are calculated by an Inertial Measurement Unit. Tilt values contain information about the 3D position of the pole.
The measurements are immune to magnetic disturbances as there is no magnetometer used.
Tilt compensation also works with Navigated and Code solutions. High accuracy positions are recommended to speed up the tilt compensation initialization.
Tilt compensation is turned off when RINEX logging is on.
When measuring a point, the pole tip must be stable on the point while the pole should be in slight movement. Tilt compensation is indicated by an icon and the Tilt LED and is maintained by natural pole movement, for example while moving to the next point to be measured.
Advantages:
• No need to level the pole
• Faster surveying procedure

Tilt compensation step-by-step
➜An iCON gps 70 must be configured as real-time rover and connected to a CC70/CC80.
➜Tilt can be configured either:
• in the profile,
• in edit profile mode, or
• in the status bar within each measurement application.
➜Move the antenna for initialisation. Walking to the survey mark is sufficient. An icon indicates that the tilt compensation is being applied.
➜The LEDs on the iCON gps 70 and the green background of the position icon indicate when a tilt compensated measurement is possible. Refer to 4.4 LED Indicators on iCON gps 70.
For an overview of the current position in the survey area
- Within the measurement application click on the position icon in the status bar.
- Current antenna position, Tiltpage The fields are updated according to the setting for antenna position update rate in Screen, Audio & Text Input.
- Use the 2D or 3D viewer with dxf data or a background image:
Measure points
1. Leica iCONstruct Field - Home: Measure:The position of the tilted iCON gps 70 is shown in both, 2D and 3D. The measure method can be defined from the status bar in both cases
Stake points
1. Leica iCONstruct Field - Home: Stake points
The position of the tilted iCON gps 70 is shown in both, 2D and 3D view.
2. Stake out the point. The values are valid for the tip of the pole.
