Total Station:
- Total station is a combination of an electronic theodolite and an electronic distance meter (EDM).
- The combination makes it possible to determine the coordinates of a reflector by aligning the instrument cross-hairs on the reflector.
- A microprocessor in the instrument take care of the recordings, readings, and other computations.
Uses of Total Station:
- It is a combination of electronic theodolite for measuring horizontal and vertical angles.
- Distance between any two points and Elevation of objects can be measured.
- All three coordinates of the observed points can be measured.
Confusion Points Total station is an electronic instrument that measures horizontal and vertical angles, distance between two points and elevation of objects. It determines the coordinates of a reflector using an electronic theodolite and an electronic distance meter. The parameter that a total station does NOT measure is the horizontal distance.
