Explanation:

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.
