Auto-Levelling

The Auto-Levelling function uses the Flexijet’s internal level sensor to detect the current level of the Flexijet 3D, and automatically compensate for this level.

The Flexijet should be Auto-Levelled before beginning a new measurement, and every time the Flexijet is moved to a new position. Note: the Flexijet will be Auto-levelled automatically when Resuming a location during repositioning if the Auto-levelling option is selected.

To Auto-Level Flexijet, tap or click the ‘Auto-Leveling’ button on the ‘Flexijet’ ribbon, or on the Flexijet’s touch screen. A warning dialog will appear confirming that you wish to Auto-Level your Flexijet as this will change the reference of the current drawing. Click ‘OK’ to proceed, or ‘Cancel’.

In software version 3.2.0.0 and later, Flexijet will rotate 180 degrees during the standard Auto-levelling procedure. If desired, you may change this to an instant ‘Quick-levelling’ Auto-Level under ‘General Preferences’ in Flexijet Stone/FlexiCAD. The Flexijet 3D 2 must be connected for this option to be available.

With the updated auto-levelling procedure, the Flexijet can be set to return to the starting position after auto-levelling. This option can be selected in ‘General Preferences’.

Auto-levelling can also be accessed from the Flexijet’s touchscreen! A count-down is added when using this command from the Flexijet to ensure the user is not affecting the Flexijet – the timing of this can be adjusted by long-pressing the button and choosing settings.

!Flexijet must be Auto-Levelled for every new measurement position, every location change, or when re-setting after a shock displaces the Flexijet. Note that Flexijet will Auto-Level automatically if Auto-Levelling is selected in the ‘Resume location’ window.

*NOTE: Flexijet’s internal level sensor compensates for the the tripod being set slightly out of level, up to 1.8 degrees. If the tripod is not set within this this range, Flexijet will make a ‘buzzer’ sound and the command line will read a warning message. Re-adjust the tripod closer to level before Auto-levelling the Flexijet 3D. Tip: You may open the ‘tilt-monitoring’ window to read the internal level of the Flexijet.
