4.5.5. Instrument
 
The total station to be used is selected under the menu item Initial > Instrument.
 
After the instrument has been selected, the various instrument parameters can be entered or modified.
 
The different input fields denote the following:
 

Name

Designation of the total station.

Type

Total station type
The specified type informs the program how the measured values are registered, i.e the type determines the interface parameters, the translation protocol and the data format. With the type Manual the measured values can be entered by hand.

Z-axisE.

Horizontal collimation error of the total station [mgon]

K-AxisE.

Trunnion axis error of the total station [mgon]

H-

Vertical index error of the total station [mgon]

Refrac.

Refraction coefficient

Add.

Zero-point correction (additive constant) of the total station [mm]

Multi.

Scale correction of the total station [mm/km]

Saa-Type

Transmit axis gap type
Determines how the measurement occurs in the case of theodolites with attachable distance measuring devices. Three types are distinguished:
Case 1: Z/S parallel: the distance measuring device is attached onto the theodolite telescope. The transmit axis is parallel to the sighting axis.
Case 2: SAA in vertical axis: the distance measuring device is attached onto the theodolite telescope supports. The distance measurement takes place in the same way as collimation to the center of the reflector. The transmit axis gap always lies in the vertical (standing) axis.
Case 3: Z/S to reflector: the distance measuring device is attached onto the theodolite telescope. Collimation and distance measurement is performed to the center of the reflector.
