Correct Answer - Option 4 : All of the above

Concept:

Total Station:

  • A total station, also known as an electronic tachometer, is an optical instrument.
  • It is a combination of an electronic theodolite for measuring horizontal and vertical angles,
  • An electromagnetic distance measurement (EDM) device for measurement of slop distances, and onboard software to convert the raw observed data to three-dimensional coordinates.
  • Thus with a total station, one may determine the actual positions (X, Y, and Z ) or northing, easting, and elevation of surveyed points or the position of the instrument from known points in absolute terms.
  • Further, the EDM that measures the slop distance can calculate and display horizontal distance and difference in level.
  • This is accomplished with the help of a microprocessor normally working concentric with the telescope eyepiece and generally housed in a casting that forms part of the telescope.


Uses of Total Station:

  • It is a combination of electronic theodolite for measuring horizontal and vertical angles.
  • Distance between any two points and Elevation of objects can be measured. 
  • All three coordinates of the observed points can be measured.
