Abstract: A laser tracker system and method of operating the laser tracker system is provided. The laser tracker system includes a laser tracker device and a mobile computing device, each coupled for communication to a computer network. The mobile computing device includes processors that are responsive to computer instructions to perform a method. The method includes identifying the laser tracker device on the computer network. Selecting the first laser tracker device. Connecting to the laser tracker device to transmit signals therebetween via the computer network in response to an input from a user. Then causing the laser tracker device to perform one or more control functions 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 a light beam on the retroreflective target.
