6 All TPS1100 instruments areroutinely supplied with a laserplummet located in the vertical axis.The TPS1100 can therefore be setup quickly and accurately over theground point with the help of the redlaser dot.

The A-versions have an automatictarget recognition (ATR), whichpermits rapid, fatigue-freemeasuring. In ATR mode the fine-pointing is automatic. In LOCK modean already-targeted point is trackedautomatically.For TPS1100 plus instruments anoptional PowerSearch module isavailable which allows an automaticprism detection within a short periodof time.

The EGL guide light is an optionalaccessory for assistance withtargeting. It is located within thetelescope and it flashes, so that theperson carrying the reflector can

IntroductionTPS1100 stands for Total StationPositioning System. The TPS1100instruments are available as variousmodels with differing classes ofaccuracy. New technologies haveenabled the measuring sequence tobe largely automated, bringingadvantages such as shortermeasuring times, simpler operationand more efficient use. Furtherelements in the basic equipment aredescribed below.

The R versions have a laser with avisible red beam. The EDM can beswitched between two operationalmodes: measurements with normalinfrared or with the visible red laserrespectively. With the red laser,reflectors are not required formeasuring distances. With infrared,distances of up to seven kilometrescan be measured.

place this in the line of sight of theinstrument.The RCS1100 remote control systemis an additional option, which allowsthe remote control of all total stations.The instrument can be controlledeither directly on the instrument or atthe RCS1100. Especially theA-versions enable the surveyor towork alone.The measurements can also betriggered, inspected and controlledfrom the target area.

Leica Geosystems offersapplications programs for many dif-ferent tasks in surveying. Justchoose the software which bestmeets your needs.

Within the special GeoBasicprogramming environment, you cancreate your own application-specificprograms for the TPS1100instruments.

A laser distancer (EDM) is incorporatedinto the instruments of the newTPS1100 series.In all versions, the distance can bedetermined by using an invisibleinfrared beam which emerges coaxiallyfrom the telescope objective.

Very short distances may bemeasured reflectorless in

Infrared-mode (e.g. to well reflectingtargets like traffic signs). In this casethe distances are corrected with theaddition constant defined for theactive reflector.For applications without reflector, theTCR and TCRA version also use avisible red laser beam which emergesin the same manner. A specialarrangement of the EDM, andappropriate arrangement of the beampaths, enable ranges of over fivekilometres to be attained with standardprisms; miniprisms, 360° reflectors, andreflector tapes can also be used, andmeasurement is also possible without areflector.

Distance measurement

When a distancemeasurement is triggered,

the EDM measures to the objectwhich is in the beam path at thatmoment.

When measurements are beingmade using the Reflectorless RedLaser EDM, the results may beinfluenced by objects passingbetween the EDM and the intendedtarget surface.This will occur because reflectorlessmeasurements are made to the firstsurface returning sufficient energy toallow the measurement to take place.For example, if the intended targetsurface is the surface of a road, but avehicle passes between the EDMand the target surface as DIST orALL is pressed, the measurementmay be made to the side of thevehicle. The result will be thedistance to the vehicle, not to theroad surface.If you are using the Long Range RedLaser EDM while measuring to aprism, and an object passes within

30 m of the EDM as DIST or ALL ispressed, the distance measurementmay be similarly effected.

In practice, because the measuringtime is very short, the surveyor canalways find a way of avoiding criticalsituations.

The optional "Extended Range (XR)"-laser is a visible red laser within-creased measurement range. Thecoaxial XR - laser makes it possibleto measure distances over 170 m(560 ft) reflectorless and over 10 km(6.2 miles) to one prism (refer to thechapter "Technical specifications").

The operation of an XR - instrumentis equivalent to a conventional TPSwith red laser. Please consider thefollowing points when measuring withthe XR - laser (RL & Long Range).

The objective lens shouldalways be clean. Dirt on the

lens (dust, fingerprints, ...) can leadto reduced accuracy.

Reflectorless

Be sure that the laser beamis not reflected by anything

close to the line of sight (e.g. highlyreflective objects).

Extended Range (Option)

Long Range to prisms

WARNING:Due to laser safetyregulations and measuring

accuracy, using the Long Range Pro-gram is only allowed to prisms thatare more than 1000 m (3300 ft) away.

Whenever possible accuratemeasurements to prisms

should be made with the standardprogram (IR).

Long Range to reflector tape

The Long Range Program can alsomeasure to reflector tape. To guaran-tee the accuracy the laser beammust be perpendicular to the reflectortape and the XR - laser must be welladjusted (refer to the chapter"Checking and adjusting").

When a distancemeasurement is triggered,

the EDM measures to the objectwhich is in the beam path at thatmoment. In case of temporaryobstruction (e.g. a passing vehicle) orheavy rain, fog or snow, the EDMmay measure to the obstruction.

When measuring longer dis-tances, any divergence of

the red laser beam from the line ofsight might lead to less accuratemeasurements. This is because thelaser beam might not be reflectedfrom the point at which thecrosshairs are pointing.

Therefore, it is recommended to ver-ify that the XR - laser is well colli-mated with the telescope line of sight(refer to the chapter "Checking andadjusting"). This should be done atregular intervals.

Do not measure with twoinstruments to the same

target simultaneously.

TCA and TCRA instruments aremotorized and equipped withAutomatic Target Recognition (ATR)coaxially in the telescope. The guidelight (EGL), mounted on thetelescope, isoptional.

ATR mode

These instruments permit automaticangle and distance measurements tonormal prisms and reduce the tediumof precise visual sighting to prisms.The prism is sighted with the opticalsight only. Initiating a distancemeasurement will turn the instrumentwith the help of the motors to sightthe prism-centre automatically.The angles V and Hz are measuredto the centre of the prism completionof the distance measurement.

Automatic Target Recognition ATR / LOCK

LOCK mode

Lock mode will enable TCAinstruments to follow a moving prism.Distances can be measuredwhenever the prism stops for a shorttime ("Stop and Go mode").

If the assistant changes thelocation too quickly, the

target may be lost. Make sure thatthe speed does not exceed the figuregiven in the technical data.

As with all other instrumenterrors, the collimation error

of the automatic target recognition(ATR) must be redeterminedperiodically (Refer to chapter"Checking and Adjusting").

Quick Prism Search withPowerSearch

The PowerSearch sensor consistsof a transmitter (1) and a receiver (2).Both are installed in the lower part ofthe telescope.

When PowerSearch is activated, theinstrument starts to rotate around itsstanding axis.The transmitter emits avertical laser swath.

At a target distance of 100 metres(330 ft) a red/yellow flashing cone oflight with a width of 6m (20 ft) isformed on each side. As a result,guiding to the line of sight of theinstrument is much easier and faster.

Between the two cones of light asector about 30mm wide is created.Within this sector both colours areflashing simultaneously. In this casethe prism is already right in the line ofsight.

Operating range:5 - 150 m (15 -500 ft)

Divergence:10 m (33ft) at 100m (330 ft)

RCS (Remote Controlled Surveying)

The RCS option (Remote ControlledSurveying) permits all models to becontrolled from the target area.Especially qualified for this purposeare the TCA and TCRA instruments.

RCS 1100

For further information, referto the RCS1100 usermanual.

Combined operation, partly at theTPS1100 and partly at the prism, isalso possible.As a result, surveys can beperformed solo. It is also possible tomonitor the operation on the RCS1100 and / or to enter the coding onthe RCS 1100.

All functions of the TPS1100,including the applications programs,are available on the RCS 1100. Thedisplay and the use of the keys areas for the TPS1100.

System concept, continued

Survey data is generally stored on aSRAM or ATA flash cardcorresponding to PCMCIA standards(referred to here as a PC card). Thedata are stored in MS-DOS fileformat. Data is exchanged with a PCthrough either a PCMCIA drive onthat PC, or an OMNI drive (optional),or the serial interface (cable linkbetween instrument and PC).The Leica Survey Office softwaresupplied with the instrument includesa program for transferring dataacross the serial interface.

Instead of using the PC card, thedata can be output in GSI format atthe serial data interface.

When data is transferredacross the serial interface

for storage in an external PC, no datafrom the applications is output in thereport file. Fixed-point coordinatescan be read only from the PC card.

Checking and adjusting

All instruments basically haveinherent mechanical defects whichcan affect the measurement ofangles. The electronic angle-measuring system of the TPS1100routinely corrects the mechanicalinstrument errors listed below; thevertical angles relate to the plumbline and the horizontal measurementsare corrected for line-of-sight error,for tilting-axis error and for vertical-axis tilt:

� l, t Compensator index error� i Vertical-index error� c Line-of-sight error� a Tilting-axis error� ATR ATR zero-point error (only for

TCA and TCRA versions)

Take note that the procedurefor determining the relevant

instrument error has to be followedprecisely and carefully.

The determination of theinstrument errors can be

started in any telescope face.

Immediately after the firstmeasurement has been

completed, motorized instrumentschange automatically to the secondface, after which the user merelyneeds to carry out the fine pointing.

Electronically

The instrument errors listed on theleft can change over time and withtemperature.

They should, therefore, beredetermined in the order shownbelow:� before the first use� before each precision survey� after long periods of transport� after long periods of work� if the temperature alters by more

than 20°C

Before determining the instrumenterrors, level-up the instrument usingthe electronic bubble. The instrumentshould be secure and firm, andshould be protected from directsunlight in order to avoid thermalwarming on one side only.

and level it up.2. Switch on the laser plummet and

mark the centre of the red dot.3. Slowly turn the instrument through

360°, carefully observing themovement of the red laser dot.

Inspection of the laser plummetshould be carried out on a bright,smooth and horizonal surface (e.g. asheet of paper).

If the centre of the laser dotdescribes a perceptible circularmovement or moves more than 3 mmaway from the point which was firstmarked, an adjustment may berequired. Inform your nearest LeicaGeosystems service workshop.

Depending on brightness andsurface, the diameter of the laser dotcan vary. At a distance of 1.5 m it willbe about 2.5mm.The maximum diameter of thecircular movement described by thecentre of the laser point should notexceed 3 mm at a distance of 1.5m.

Inspection

A target plate is provided. Set it upbetween five and 20 metres awaywith the grey reflective side facing theinstrument. Move the telescope toface II. Switch on the red laser beamby activating the laser-point function.Use the telescope crosshair to alignthe instrument with the centre of thetarget plate, and then inspect theposition of the red laser dot on thetarget plate. Generally speaking thered dot cannot be seen through thetelescope, so look at the target platefrom just above the telescope or fromjust to the side of it.If the dot illuminates the cross, theachievable adjustment precision hasbeen reached; if it lies outside thelimits of the cross, the direction of thebeam needs to be adjusted.

Reflector-free EDM

The red laser beam used formeasuring without reflector isarranged coaxially with the line ofsight of the telescope, and emergesfrom the objective port. If theinstrument is well adjusted, the redmeasuring beam will coincide withthe visual line of sight. Externalinfluences such as shock or largetemperature fluctuations can displacethe red measuring beam relative tothe line of sight.

The direction of the beamshould be inspected before

precise measurement of distances isattempted, because an excessivedeviation of the laser beam from theline of sight can result in imprecisedistance measurements.

Throughout the adjustmentprocedure, keep the

telescope pointing to the target plate.

After each adjustment,replace the plugs in the ports

Data job (D JOB) and meas. job (M JOB)

A distinction is made between:� Input data, which are generally

fixed-point coordinates, and� Output data, which are generally

measurements, coordinates, orvalues derived from "new points."

It is useful to store the input data andthe output data in two separate files,although they can be stored togetherin one file.

Up to 60 files can be managed.The names of the files can bechosen freely, but the extension mustalways be GSI (e.g."PROJ2563.GSI").

In the directory \LOG, additional datafrom most of the loadableapplications can be stored in aprotocol file.

The data can be output in GSI formatto the serial interface instead of on tothe PC card.

If the data is stored on theserial interface, no data from

the applications will be output to theprotocol file. Fixed-point coordinatescan be read only from the PC card.

The search for stored data can be made easier if a placeholder is usedinstead of the complete point number. In the TPS1000, a decimal point "." isused instead of the more usual star "*", because it is more easily entered.There is no entry corresponding to "?".

Example of the use of placeholders:

If a number with placeholder is entered instead of the complete point number,the controlled data search is always started and the first matching data setis displayed. The subsequent procedure is the same as that used whenentering a complete point number.

Geometrical correction

The geometrical distance correctionis derived from the projectiondistortion and the height above thereference datum.The calculation of the geometricalppm follows the formula for theTransversal Mercator Projection.The individual factors are: the scalefactor of the line of projection (centralmeridian, Gauss-Krüger = 1.0, UTM= 0.9996, etc.); the offset from theline of projection; the height abovethe reference datum (normally this isthe height above mean sea-level);and an additional individual scalecorrection.

The distance without anyprojection distortion is used

to determine the height difference.The individually-set scale adjustmentis always applied to the distance.

Measuring distances and angles separately (DIST + REC)

This procedure offers the option ofrealigning the telescope on anotherpoint after measuring the distanceand before measuring the angle. Inthis way two points can be used formeasurements of angle anddistance.It is therefore possible to recordinaccessible points, e.g. housecorners, fences surrounded byhedges.

For calculations which depend ondistance, the V-angle aftercompletion of the distancemeasurement is used, along with thecurrent Hz-direction. Consequently,calculated heights and heightdifferences are retained and thecoordinates for easting and northingwhich correspond to the new Hzdirection are recalculated using thelast-measured distance.

The V-angle displayedcorresponds to the position

of the telescope on completion of thedistance measurement. The V-angleis not altered until the measurementis recorded for a new distance ismeasured.

When distances, heights, or heightdifferences are displayed as emptyfields (i.e. -----), the V-angle iscontinuously displayed and updated.

If, after the distance has beenmeasured, changes are made to thetarget-point data which have aninfluence on the distance measuredor on the height and height difference(e.g. ppm, prism constant, reflectorheight, refraction coefficient), thedependent data will becorrespondingly re-computed.

TCA and TCRA instruments aremotorized and equipped withAutomatic Target Recognition (ATR)coaxially in the telescope. The EGLguide light, mounted on thetelescope, is optional.These instruments permit automaticangle and distance measurements tonormal prisms and reduce the tediumof precise visual sighting to prisms.The prism is sighted with the opticalsight only. Initiating a distancemeasurement will turn the instrumentwith the help of the motors to sightthe prism-centre automatically.The angles V and Hz are measuredto the centre of the prism at thecompletion of the distancemeasurement.

Automatic Target Recognition

As with all other instrumenterrors, the collimation error

of the automatic target recognition(ATR) must be redeterminedperiodically (Refer to chapter"Checking and Adjusting").

Reflections or foreign lights(eg. from car headlights) can

affect the ATR-measurement.

Functionality

The built-in Automatic TargetRecognition ATR1 transmits a laserbeam. The reflected light is receivedby the built-in camera (CCD). Theposition of the received light spot withrespect to the centre of the CCD iscomputed and the offsets are used tocorrect the horizontal and verticalangles. The offsets are also used tocontrol the motors which turn theinstrument so that the crosshairs arecentred on the prism.

In order to minimize the times formeasuring, the crosshair is notmoved to the exact centre of theprism. The offset can be up to 5mm.Then the Automatic TargetRecognition ATR1 measures theoffsets between the crosshair andprism centre and corrects the Hz andV angles accordingly.

Therefore the Hz and V angles aremeasured to the prism-centre,regardless of the crosshair pointingprecisely to the centre of the prism.

If the offset is more than 5mm whenthe prism is exactly aligned and infaultless condition, the Automatic Tar-get Recognition ATR1 must berecalibrated. If excessive offsetsoccur frequently, contact your LeicaGeosystems agency.

Crosshair

The telescopic field of view is theactive field of the ATR. Within thisarea the prism is identifiedimmediately.

The following functions arevalid only for TCA and TCRA

instruments.

This mode permits the automaticrecognition of stationary targets.

The observer must first use theoptical sight to target the prismapproximately so that it is locatedwithin the telescopic field of view.

When the distance measurement istriggered, the motors move thecrosshair close to the centre of theprism to make distancemeasurement possible.

ATR-Mode (ATR+ / ATR-) LOCK-Mode (LOCK+ / LOCK-)

Lock-mode will enable TCAinstruments to follow a moving prism.Distances can be measuredwhenever the prism stops for a shorttime (Stop and Go mode).

The icon is shown in the lowerleft area of the status field when theLOCK-mode is activated and beforea prism is found.

Switching to LOCK mode requires aninitial distance measurement so thatATR1 "learns" the prism.

This measurement is the same asthe initial measurement in ATRmode.

If the prism is subsequently moved,the telescope tracks it automaticallyfor as long as the prism is aligned tothe instrument.

LOCK-Mode (LOCK+ / LOCK-), continued

The displayed angles refer to thecrosshair direction during search.Once the prism is static, a distancemeasurement can be activated using"DIST" or "ALL". In this case theangles are measured on the centre ofthe prism after the distancemeasurement.

After a distance measurement, thesecorrected angles (for the centre ofthe prism) are displayed or recorded.

The icon is shown in the lowerleft area of the status field if theLOCK mode is active and if thetelescope tracks the prism

Any interruption to the tracking of theprism is indicated for about twoseconds graphically in the lower leftstatus field by the symbol andalso by a continuous acoustic signal(beep).

L.UNT-Mode (L.INT+ / L.GO)

The LOCK mode is interrupted(LOCK Interrupt), e.g. to measureinbetween to faraway targets withoutprism (eg. church spires). After thedistance has been measured, theATR immediately returns to its origi-nal condition.

This function should be used formeasuring to a second prism (Chan-ging the prism).

The icon is shown in the lowerleft area of the status field, once theL.INT-mode is activated. Measuredangles refer to the direction of thecrosshair.

At the completion of the distancemeasurement or after pressing L.GO,the LOCK mode is reactivated andthe corresponding icon is shown inthe lower left area of the status field.

Automatic Reflector Search

If the reflector is in the telescope'sfield of view, the crosshair isautomatically positioned to thereflector when a measurement istriggered. If the target is not withinthe telescope's field of view, anautomatic reflector search is started.Instruments equipped with the optionPowerSearch can be switched toPowerSearch mode for a quickdetection of prisms.

The shape of the ATR search windowis rectangular and the defined area isscanned line by line starting in thecenter of the searching window.

Depending on the working mode ofthe instrument different sized searchwindows and different searchstrategies are used.The dimension of the search windowin RCS mode can be defined in the"RCS Searching Window" function. InRCS mode, a working area can beadditionnally defined. This area isautomatically scanned if the localsearch was not successful.

� ATR and LOCK modes:

The operator stands at theinstrument and can manually positionthe telescope to the reflector at anytime. When a measurement istriggered, a small search window (Hz:2.5gon / V: 2.5gon) is used to find thereflector as quickly as possible. If the target is lost in LOCK modethe path of the reflector is predictedfor a few seconds.

� RCS mode:

The operator stands at the reflectorand directs the telescope to thetarget with his preferred positioningmode (e.g. joystick). Because thetelescope can only be positionedroughly when standing at thereflector, bigger search windows areused in RCS mode. If a search istriggered manually by pressing ALLor DIST the RCS Searching Window(default size Hz: 30gon / V: 15gon) isscanned starting at the currentposition of the telescope.

� The dimension of the searchwindow in RCS mode can bedefined in the "RCS SearchingWindow" function.

Data format

This chapter describes the datastructure and organization of the Lei-ca Geosystems GSI (Geo Serial In-terface). The GSI data structure isused for all data transferred betweenthe Leica Geosystems electronicsurvey instruments, and also definesthe data stored internally. Thefollowing information describes thedata structure of the TPS1100instruments and contains somespecific features only applicable tothese instruments.Data transferred between a LeicaGeosystems instrument and acomputer will conform to the GSIdata structure (also called GSI dataformat).

Format with 8 or 16 characters

There is a choice between storing 8characters (places) or 16.

From Version 2.20 onwards, there isa choice of two GSI formats, withword lengths of 8 and 16 charactersrespectively. When 16 characters arestored and supported the followingspecial conditions apply:

� A measurement block is taggedwith * at the first position.

� A data word includes the data atpositions 7 to 23 instead of at7 to 15.

Data transmitted by instruments overthe GSI interface is composed ofblocks. Each one of these datablocks is treated as a whole, andends with a terminator (CR, or CRLF). There are two types of datablock:

1 Measurement blocks2 Code blocks

Measurement blocks contain a pointnumber and measurementinformation. They are designedprimarily for triangulation, traverse,detail, and tacheometric surveys.Code blocks are designed primarilyfor recording identification codes,data-processing codes andinformation. However, they can alsobe used for recording measurementinformation such as instrument andtarget heights, and tie distances.

Block concept

Each data block has a blocknumber. The block numbers startwith 1 and are incremented by 1 eachtime that a new data block is stored.

Structure of a block

A data block consists of words, eachwith 16 (24) characters. Themaximum number of words in theTPS1100 is 12.

The words of a measurement block are determined by the format which isset on the survey instrument.

Example: Measurement block with TPS1000 default values

Measurement block

Code block

The first word of a code block is always the code number. A code block cancontain between one and eight words.

Terminator of a data block

The terminator is sent by theinstrument after data blocks, after theresponse sign (?) and after othermessages.The standard terminator is CR/LF(carriage return/line feed). TPS1100instruments can be set to transmitand accept only CR.

There follows here below aninterpretation of the main points inthe relevant section of the standardquoted.

Class 3R laser products used onconstruction sites and outdoors(surveying, alignment, levelling):

a) Only qualified and trained personsshould be assigned to install,adjust and operate the laserequipment.

b) Areas in which these lasers areused should be posted with anappropriate laser warning sign.

c) Precautions should be taken toensure that persons do not lookdirectly, with or without an opticalinstrument, into the beam.

d) The laser beam should beterminated at the end of its usefulbeam path and should in all casesbe terminated if the hazardousbeam path extends beyond thelimit (hazard distance *)) of thearea in which the presence andactivities of personnel aremonitored for reasons ofprotection from laser radiation.

e) The laser beam path should belocated well above or below eyelevel wherever practicable.

f) When not in use the laser productshould be stored in a locationwhere unauthorized personnelcannot gain access.

g) Precautions should be taken toensure that the laser beam is notunintentionally directed at mirror-like (specular) surfaces (e.g.mirrors, metal surfaces, windows).But, more importantly, at flat orconcave mirror-like surfaces.

*) The hazard distance is thedistance from the laser at whichbeam irradiance or radiantexposure equals the maximumpermissible value to whichpersonnel may be exposed withoutbeing exposed to a health risk.

Products with an integrated distancerof laser class 3R resp. IIIa thishazard distance is 1000m (3300ft). Atthis distance, the laser beam rates asClass 1 (= direct intrabeam viewing isnot hazardous).

Atmospheric correction ∆∆∆∆∆D1

The distance displayed is correct onlyif the scale correction in ppm (mm/km) which has been enteredcorresponds to the atmosphericconditions prevailing at the time ofthe measurement.

The atmospheric correction includesadjustments for air pressure, airtemperature and relative humidity.

If, for highest-precision distancemeasurements, the atmosphericcorrection should be determined withan accuracy of 1 ppm, the followingparameters must be redetermined:Air temperature to 1°C; air pressureto 3 millibars; relative humidityto 20%.

It is usually sufficient to take theatmospheric correction from the dia-gram and to enter this value with thekeyboard.

The air humidity influences thedistance measurement if the climateis extremely hot and damp.

For high-precision measurements,the relative humidity must bemeasured and entered along with theair pressure and the temperature.

The index n for the infrared EDM(carrier wave 780nm) = 1.0002830.For the visible red laser (carrier wave670nm), n = 1.0002859.

The index n is calculated from theformula of Barrel and Sears, and isvalid for air pressure p = 1013.25mbar, for air temperature t = 12°Cand for relative air humidity h = 60%.

Formula for infrared EDM:

Air-humidity correction in mm/km(ppm), air temperature in °C, relativehumidity in %

∆D1 = atmospheric correction [ppm]

p = air pressure [mbar]t = air temperature [°C]h = relative humidity [%]α = 1 / 273.16

x = 7.5 t237.3 + t + 0.7857

If the basic value of 60% relativehumidity as used by the EDM isretained, the maximum possible errorin the calculated atmosphericcorrection will be 2 ppm (2 mm / km).

Reduction to mean sea level ∆∆∆∆∆D2

The values for ∆D2 are always negati-ve and are derived from the followingformula:

∆D2 = reduction to mean sea level[ppm]

H = height of EDM above sealevel [m]

R = 6378 km

Projection distortion ∆∆∆∆∆D3

The magnitude of the projectiondistortion is in accordance with theprojection system used in a particularcountry, for which official tables aregenerally available. The followingformula is valid for cylindricalprojections such as that of Gauss-Krüger:

∆D3 = projection distortion [ppm]X = northing, distance from

projection zero line with thescale factor 1 [km]

R = 6378 km

In countries where the scale factor isnot unity, this formula cannot bedirectly applied.

In the distance-measuring program"Averaging", the following values aredisplayed:D = slope distance as arithmetic

mean of all measurementss = standard deviation of a single

measurementn = number of measurements

These values are calculated asfollows:

Reduction formulae

= displayed slope distance [m]D0 = uncorrected distance [m]ppm = scale correction [mm/km]mm = prism constant [mm]

The instrument calculates slopedistance, horizontal distance andheight difference in accordance withthe following formula. Earth curvatureand mean refraction coefficient(k = 0.13) are taken into accountautomatically. The calculated hori-zontal distance relates to the stationheight, not to the reflector height.

∑ = sumDi = single measurement

The standard deviation SD of thearithmetic mean of the distance canbe calculated as follows:

= Y - A · X · Y

= X + B · Y2

s =∑n

i = 1 (Di - D)² n - 1

=∑n

i = 1 Di² - n - 1

(∑Di)² n

SD = s n

= horizontal distance [m]= height difference [m]

Y = · |sin ζ |X = · cos ζζ = vertical-circle reading

A = 1 - k / 2 R = 1.47 · 10-7 [m-1]

k = 0.13R = 6.37 · 106 m
