Leica Captivate setup and search setting.
I recently got a different controller from a colleague and it has a very annoying setting. Actually two, but one is almost dangerous.
When I setup with a measurement to a prism, it measures to the prism once, then when I hit store, it measures again and sets the bearing. I know it does it, because I've had a random setup where a car got in the way, it got confused and it set to a random bearing after the second measurement.
On my previous controller, when I measured the distance, it set that bearing. If I setup in two faces, I have to do a total of four measurements. If I'm shooting through traffic, it can take a really long time.
I've looked through every setting that I could find and I can't find a way to turn this off. Is it just built in to the latest version of Captivate? Because if it is, it's incredibly stupid.
The other annoying setting is the wait and search function for when the instrument loses lock. There is no more wait option. I would like it to just wait when it loses lock, because often I lose lock on purpose to put the target down while I'm doing something and I can get lock back quickly afterwards. Now, after a few seconds, it starts looking for a prism that isn't there and loses its place. Is that option just gone altogether?
