- Software menus must be perfectly adapted to the instrument or notebook screen.

- Data transfer and processing software.

- The supplier must provide French-language software for data transfer. Data transfer software must run in a Windows environment on individual computer workstations.

- The software must enable raw data or coordinates to be converted into a format accessible to all legal or civil surveying software.

General measurement requirements

- The instrument telescope must have the following specifications:

-Coaxial with EDM;

-Magnification: 30x.

- The focus control should be placed on the side panel of the unit to allow the operator to maintain target aiming while adjusting focus.

- The instrument shall have a built-in two-axis compensator centered to within 0.5".

- When aiming at a target in windy conditions that may cause vibrations, the instrument must be able to return to the target position after wind-induced movement (less than 6 minutes arc).
