LeicaThe three-dimensional DigSmart machine automation control system from Leica Geosystems features a TrenchTool mode that can be operator-selected at the onboard computer. This Leica SmartTool will guide the operator as to exactly where to both trench and backfill. A second mode is SlopeTool, which ensures the operator does not over-excavate no matter how complex the specified profile is. A third mode, RampTool establishes height-position planes keyed to GNSS elevation data.
