What is tilt error?
Think about how alignment affects measurements.

Think about what happens when the alignment isn't right.
True or False: Tilt error can be corrected by measuring on both faces of the instrument.
Consider if averaging data would help.
A construction survey on a hillside led to tilt error being discovered after the measurements were taken. Describe the impact this might have on future construction stages.
Consider how precision is critical in construction.
Calculate the angular discrepancy introduced by a tilt error that measures 2 degrees off when set to an angle of 45 degrees. How would this affect horizontal measurements?
