The instrumental constants of the Naval Observatory's Automatic Transit Circle are discussed in conjunction with the transit circle's on-line data acquisition and control system. The reflecting collimators have been designed with CerVit primaries and minified point sources. The mark lens configuration is comprised of a long focal length lens and wedge manufactured from a single piece of fused silica. The on-line data acquisition and control system will permit real time monitoring of these instrumental parameters.
