Abstract:
A tracker includes a retro-follow mode that causes a beam of light from the tracker to follow a retroreflector while locked onto the retroreflector with the beam of light turned on or, alternatively, using target cameras with the beam of light turned off.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 1  further comprising:\n placing the tracker in a retro-grab mode; \n for the tracker in the retro-grab mode:\n turning on the beam of light; \n pointing the beam of light in a fixed direction until the beam of light, upon reflection from the retroreflector, is detected within the position detector; \n after receiving the beam of light within the position detector, moving the beam of light to arrive, upon reflection from the retroreflector, at a retrace point of the retroreflector; and \n tracking on the retroreflector based at least in part on the signal produced by the position detector in response to the beam of light reflected from the retroreflector onto the position detector.
