HomeArticles, FAQCan total station be used for leveling?

A total station is a type of prescription measurement instrument. It features the angle-measuring functionality of a theodolite with the capabilities of an electronic distance measurement tool. This makes the device extremely useful for many different surveying processes.

Q. How do I calibrate Trimble s6?

Trimble recommends that you calibrate the compensator periodically, especially before you take precise measurements.

  1. Select Compensator calibration.
  2. Tap Next. The instrument slowly rotates through 360°. When the calibration is complete, a success message appears.
  3. Tap OK.

Q. How do I adjust my optical plummet Trimble?

To start, release the right screw counter clockwise, then turn the screw on the left side clockwise to adjust the optical plumb to the right. Only adjust it half the way.

Q. How do you calibrate Trimble total station?

Q. What is sighting and trunnion?

A sighting telescope rotates on a vertical axis. A circular scale rotates on this same axis to measure the horizontal angle. A second axis, the trunnion axis, moves with the instrument and is perpendicular to the vertical axis.

The indirect leveling method using total station for leveling is considered to have due accuracy, applications of the indirect leveling is gradually expanding for public works such as construction of roads, airports and cities.

Q. What does a total station do?

Q. What are the advantages of total station?

Advantages of Total station

  • Quick collection of information.
  • Multiple surveys can be performed at one set up location.
  • Easy to perform distance & horizontal measurements.
  • Layout of construction site quickly and efficiently.
  • Digital design data from CAD programs can be uploaded to data collector.

Q. When total station is sighted to the target which of the operation acts first?

5. When total station is sighted to the target, which of the operation acts first? Explanation: At the time of sighting the instrument towards the target, first step involves the rotation of the instrument’s optical axis from the instrument north in horizontal plane.

Q. How does the Trimble S6 robotic total station work?

Using Trimble VISION technologies, the Trimble S6 Total Station enables surveyors to remotely see and measure through a live video feed from the tool on their data control. The Trimble S6 Robotic redefines surveying tool performance with an unsurpassed integration of servos, angle sensors, and measurement technology.

Q. What kind of servo motors does Trimble S6 use?

With smooth, silent MagDrive servo motors, the Trimble S6 offers exceptional speed. The Trimble S6 Total Station aims and stays on target through windy weather, vibrations, handling, and sinkage.

Q. How does surepoint work on the Trimble S6?

Trimble SurePoint™ technology enables the Trimble S6 to actively correct for unwanted movement ensuring accurate pointing and measurement every time. Reduce aiming error, avoid costly re-measurement and be confident in your results with Trimble SurePoint.

Q. Which is the best tracking target for Trimble surveying?

Choose from passive or active monitoring with the Trimble MultiTrackTM Target, the only target of its type in the surveying industry. Active tracking ensures you find and lock to the target. When you are using the Trimble MultiTrack Goal, nearby reflective surfaces, like road signs, cars, safety vests, and other prisms, won’t disrupt your surveys.
