4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the purpose of leveling the Total Station?
Think about the effect of being unlevel in measuring.
What instrument helps in centering the Total Station over the ground mark?
It's a device that helps with alignment.
What is the first step in conducting a Total Station survey?
What comes before we can even start measuring?
True or False: The optical plummet is used to level the Total Station.
What does leveling use instead?
A surveyor sets up a Total Station at a height of 1.5 meters. During the survey, the measurements included angles of 45° to a target prism at a sloped distance of 100 meters. Calculate the horizontal distance to the prism.
Remember the cosine function relates the angle to the adjacent side in a right triangle.
Explain how incorrect leveling of the Total Station could affect the accuracy of measured angles and distances during a survey.
Consider what happens to the angles measured if the instrument is tilted.
