Theodolites - The Latest Techniques

The complete station is the modern day survey instruments which integrate the electric theodolites with the electric meter for distance.

The theodolite employs a telescope which is movable and measure the angles in the vertical as well as horizontal planes. Traditionally the instruments are manual which cone in 2 types- a transit that rotates full Circle in vertical planes and the non transit, which rotate in half circle.

The complete stations employ the electric transits of the laser level in the conjunction along with the meter for distance for reading the slope distances from the instruments to a specific spot. They are the most important surveying devices. When they are employed with the other techniques like mapping the software, they are capable of delivering the total surveying packages, from mapping to measuring.

The Way These Tools have Helped in Increasing the Productivity

The development and creation of the tools like these have increased markedly productivity in the profession of surveying in the below mentioned ways:

• While the co ordinate measurements by the Theodolites are made in the ways traditional, triangulation and trigonometry, the angles which are measured by the means of the electric optical scan to the highest degree of proficiency into zero point five arc seconds. A constraint of the traditional Theodolites survey is their requirement of a line of sight on between the 2 points- the now technology of GPS can be utilized by the total station of surveying for including the un-seen points in surveying.
• 
  The other increases in the productivity are because of functionality and efficiency. A very big advantage of this device is that many of the total stations like the LEICA VIVA TS15 employed by the Jurovich surveying are the robotic. This means that they are capable of being operated at some distance, thus, needing just 1 surveyor in the fields, rather than the regular 2. For instance, the Robotic controller is capable of streaming the total view of the station to the surveyor at some point remote. It even comprises of the up to date capture of images technique, which can easily record image or the view of the screen from the site of surveying, eradicating the requirement for the pricey revisits and creating images of high resolution of the conditions of the site.
• 
  You must not know that the traditional problems for the surveyors are just wet papers. The total station has electrical documents and the functions of sketching that reduce the requirement for the notes of paper fields.
