Study Notes

Electronic Distance Measurements (EDM) Errors

  • The three main sources of error influencing electronic distance measurements (EDM) are atmospheric, geometrical, and instrumental errors.

Classification of Errors

  • Atmospheric, geometrical, and instrumental errors are classified as systematic errors.

Atmospheric Errors

  • Atmospheric errors are related to velocity correction in electronic distance measurements.

Geometrical Errors

  • Geometrical errors are negligible for short distances in electronic distance measurements.

Instrumental Errors

  • The main factor contributing to instrumental error in electronic distance measurements is the quality of the instrument used.
