LASER RANGE FINDER

c. Set the COM Port field to COM Port 1 (advanced function set only).

d. Set the Configuration field to Standard (advanced function set only).

e. Using LRF procedures (initiated from the LRF), determine the range of the desired point in the field of view, then transfer the data through the interface cable to the DAGR.

f. The DAGR automatically collects the coordinate information sent, displays LRF waypoint data, and prompts the operator to confirm LRF waypoint coordinates.

LP 9 18

LASER RANGE FINDER

g. The waypoint is stored and displayed as an LRF-NNN waypoint. The LRF prefix denotes the waypoint as a laser range finder waypoint, and N represents the waypoint number. The azimuth and range data to the LRF waypoint is also displayed. Use the cursor control keys to scroll down and view LRF waypoint position coordinates.

h. Push ENTER to acknowledge.

i. Verify the LRF waypoint is stored using the Waypoints page.
