Welcome to the automet® FAB Training Path
This area of the Wiki allows you to get to grips with automet through a designated, structured path.
Looking at a full technical guide can be overwhelming when you are just starting out. We have curated this journey for those who want to be guided from the basics of hardware setup through to advanced data analysis.
Why use this path?
- Efficiency: Skip the trial and error phase
- Confidence: Use the built-in self-checks and quizzes to ensure you are ready for the field.
- Structure: Go from a box of equipment to a completed survey report in five logical steps.
Training Path Overview
Note: If you are an experienced user looking for a specific technical reference rather than a tutorial, you may prefer the Full Documentation Index.
Ready to begin?
Section 1 – Getting Started
Estimated time: 15 minutes
Firstly, you need to get everything set up and ready to survey. This involves preparing the physical hardware and ensuring the laptop can communicate with the instrument.
1.1 Hardware Preparation
- Charging: Ensure the Leica instrument battery is fully charged and inserted correctly.
- Power: Turn the instrument on and allow it to complete its initialisation.
- Licensing: Ensure your instrument has a GeoCom licence.
- Note: This is a one-time activation from Leica. Without it, automet cannot communicate with the hardware. If you are unsure, contact your local Leica representative.
1.2 Connectivity & Installation
- Bluetooth/Cable: Connect the instrument to your laptop.
- Software: Install the latest version of automet from https://www.mltech.co.uk using your user and password information provided by MLTech.
- The Dongle System:
- You receive two dongles from MLTech.
- The Active dongle must be plugged into the laptop to run the software.
- The second is an Inactive Backup for emergency use only.
- Verification: Start automet and check the connection status and check that it loads.
