Total station problems
Alidade includes the telescope,
the graduated vertical and horizontal scales for measuring angles and the other
components that are involved in measuring angles and distances. The short
telescopes that can be inverted end for end or transited, contain reticles or cross
hair rings with the cross hairs etched in glass. Most of the telescopes have two
focusing devices – the objective lens for sighting to the point observed and the
eyepiece control for focusing the crosshairs.
4. List the types pf surveying work that can be done with a total station.
- Total stations automatically determine the horizontal and vertical components of
slope distances and compute elevations and coordinates of sighted points. Total
stations can also be used in a tracking mode. They provide slope, horizontal and
vertical distances; measure horizontal and vertical (zenith) angles and determine
coordinates
