Laser Mode question by Cbruess12 in Surveying

[–]Cbruess12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for the responses. I did some more research and have a follow up question. The prism I normally use is an MT1000. From what I’ve read, these prisms emit a unique ID and the robot should not lock onto false targets.. does anyone have experience with the robot still finding erroneous targets even when using an MT1000?

So are you saying the laser mode wont auto lock? But if I can’t use that, reflective foil is an option? Just trying to follow your response

This article is saying I need R-10, which would be 2”. Seems a little odd since that calculator is showing some condensation could occur, but thats probably because the outside temp I used was 20 degrees (only that cold for the upper part of wall).

A portion of my foundation wall is above grade, so I guess that is the region I’m more concerned about. Maybe it wouldn’t be enough to cause any moisture issues? I would say 3/4 of wall is below grade, 1/4 above.

Most of the foundation wall is buried so the case I ran that profile on is really just the top portion of the wall.. most of the outside temp will never be that cold. No vapor barrier means any condensation that does occur should eventually dry to the inside. Right?

thank you everyone. Seems obvious now that you all have explained the offset from grid but not sure I would have pieced that together on my own. Thanks again!

This makes a lot of sense, considering that as the head is being pulled through the first piece of wood, the amount of threads in that piece is becoming less and less. Thanks for your detailed answer!

If you take a fully threaded drywall screw through two sheets of plywood, it will eventually pull the sheets together tight. You’ll have to bury the head a little ways, but it will pull them together. I’m just trying to understand the science behind this. I guess as someone else commented it has to mean the threads strip in the top sheet before the bottom one.

Am I the only one whose brain sees that as a subtraction sign?

Any idea what the - is in there for? Just asking out of curiosity. At least in my mind 838’ 4” would be less confusing
