Other Equipment
Factors influencing the use of Total Stations:

 
 
  • A clear line of sight between the instrument and the measured points is essential.
  • The precision of the instrument is dependent on the raw repeatabilities of the direction and distance measurements.
  • A well defined measurement point or target/prism is required to obtain optimal precision and accuracy.
  • The accuracy of direction and distance measurement is subject to a number of instrumental errors and the correct field procedures.
