Total station:
- A total station (TS) or total station theodolite (TST) is an electronic/optical instrument used for surveying and building construction.
- It is an electronic transit theodolite integrated with electronic distance measurement (EDM) to measure the sloping distance of the object to the instrument, horizontal angles, and vertical angles.
- This Microprocessor unit enables for computation of data collected to further calculate the horizontal distance, coordinates of a point, and reduced level of the point.
- Data collected from the total stations can be downloaded into computers/laptops for further processing of information.
- Total stations are mainly used by land surveyors and civil engineers, either to record features as in topographic surveying or to set out features (such as roads, houses, or boundaries).
-
They are also used by archaeologists to record excavations and by police, crime scene investigators, private accident deconstructionists, and insurance companies to take measurements of scenes.
