Abstract: A laser tracker system and method of operating the laser tracker system is provided. The method includes providing a mobile computing device coupled for communication to a computer network. Identifying with the mobile computing device at least one laser tracker device on the computer network, the at least one laser tracker device including a first laser tracker device. The mobile computing device is connected to the first laser tracker device to transmit signals therebetween via the computer network in response to a first input from a user. One or more control functions are performed on the first laser tracker device in response to one or more second inputs from the user, wherein at least one of the one or more control functions includes selecting with the mobile computing device a retroreflective target and locking the first light beam on the retroreflective target.
