Total stations are advanced optical instruments that combines electronic distance meter (EDM) with the ability to measure horizontal and vertical angles. Can be operated remotely so a single surveyor can do tasks that require a team. Total stations are also used to measure coordinates accurately, which is crucial for precise data collection and analysis in various fields. Also used to calculate angles, distances and positions of points in surveying tasks.
Total stations are also used for measurements, using tools like leveling staff, dumpy level and theodolite to measure and establish vertical alignments in surveying projects.
Speed: Robotic total stations collect data faster and more accurate.
Applications: Construction, land surveying, topographic surveys.
Total stations combines theodolite with EDM to measure angles and distances accurately. Measuring angles with total stations is important for tasks like determining property boundaries and preparing construction sites, where precise measurements are critical. Used for various surveying tasks like boundary surveys, construction layout and topographic mapping.

Collectors is used to record and store survey data. Can be connected to various instruments to ensure data is captured accurately and easily accessible.
Convenience: Simplifies and reduces errors.
Integration: Can be used with total stations, GPS, others.
There are many types of surveying instruments to cater to the different needs of land surveying and projects. The main instruments are theodolites, total stations, GPS/GNSS, levels and measuring wheels. Theodolites are used to measure horizontal and vertical angles accurately, for tasks that require precise alignment and layout. Total stations combines theodolite with EDM for distances. GPS and GNSS uses satellite signals to get location data. Levels like automatic levels is used to measure height differences and ensure structures are built on level. Measuring wheels is used to quickly measure distances and calculate areas in the field. By knowing the features and applications of each instrument, surveyors can choose the right instrument to get measurements and successful projects.
Proper setting up of surveying instruments is important for reliable data collection in the field. Surveyors must set up and calibrate their instruments according to the terrain, weather and instrument capabilities. For example, total stations requires precise leveling and alignment for measurements, GPS/GNSS must be configured to receive optimal satellite for precise positioning. Data collectors must be set up to record and organize data to minimize errors during surveying. Regular maintenance and inventory checks are also necessary to keep equipment in good condition, so surveyors have access to reliable tools whenever needed. By following best practices for setting up, professionals can maximize instrument performance and accuracy.
Surveying instruments must be durable and reliable to withstand field conditions. High quality materials and robust is necessary for longevity and accuracy.
Connectors and sensitive components are often protected from water and dust with silicone plugs to ensure durability in harsh conditions.
