Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of a traverse survey in establishing horizontal control points?

The purpose of a traverse survey is to establish horizontal control points by measuring precise horizontal and vertical angles, as well as marking out straight and curved lines in the field.

What are the capabilities of a Total Station?

The capabilities of a Total Station include measuring the sloping distance of an object to the instrument, horizontal angles, vertical angles, computation of horizontal distance, coordinates of a point, and reduced level of the point.

What are the components integrated into a Total Station?

A Total Station is integrated with an electronic transit theodolite, electronic distance meter (EDM), microprocessor, electronic data collector, and storage system.

What are the field procedures for Total Stations in topographic surveys?

The field procedures for Total Stations in topographic surveys involve measuring precise horizontal and vertical angles, as well as computing data collected to calculate further the horizontal distance, coordinates of a point, and reduced level of the point. Signup and view all the answers
