Abstract
A reflective target configured to be used in measuring and/or surveying applications includes a base element, a light reflecting area configured to reflect light beams of a first range of wavelengths at least partially, a communications circuit configured to be communicatively connected to a measuring unit of a laser instrument and/or to a supervisory device, a power source configured to provide power, an array of light receiving elements, and a signal processing unit. The light receiving elements are configured to receive light beams of a second range of wavelengths and the signal processing unit is configured to process light beams received by the light receiving elements.

A reflective target (15;
- 110) configured to be used in measuring and/or surveying applications, comprising:
- a base element (111);
- a light reflecting area (112) configured to reflect light beams (26) of a first range of wavelengths at least partially;
- a communications circuit (113) configured to be communicatively connected to a measuring unit (17) of a laser instrument (12) and/or to a supervisory device (96);
- a power source (114) configured to provide power;
- an array of light receiving elements (116);
- and
- a signal processing unit (117);
- wherein the light receiving elements (116) are configured to receive light beams (27) of a second range of wavelengths and wherein the signal processing unit (117) is configured to process light beams (27) received by the light receiving elements (116).
