1. A remote unit associated with a multi-dimensional measuring system comprising:
- a target in communication with a tracking unit of the multi-dimensional measuring system, the target being capable of making pitch, yaw, and roll movements; and
a probe assembly coupled to the target, the probe assembly comprises a probe tip, a probe stem, and a probe base, wherein the probe tip is configured to reach locations not within a line of sight between the tracking unit and the target.

Abstract
A laser based tracking unit communicates with a target to obtain position information about the target. Specifically, the target is placed at the point to be measured. The pitch, yaw and roll movements of the target, and the spherical coordinates of the target relative to the tracking unit are then obtained. The target can be, for example, an active device incorporated into a moveable device such as a remote controlled robot.
