What is Digital planimeter
A planimeter is an instrument used to measure the area of irregular shapes. The original version consisted of tracing the boundaries with the arm of the planimeter and then converting the obtained reading to the area of the figure using a specific formula. Here, the possibility of error is very high and the procedure is…

What is Electronic digital theodolite
It works like an ordinary transit theodolite, except that it is more accurate, error-free and easier to operate. An electronic compensation is provided, which simplifies the leveling process and improves accuracy by compensating for poor adjustments. A laser plummet is provided for accurate centering. Electronic display of all readings is automatically available. It works on…

What is Microptic theodolite
It is a reliable, convenient, highly accurate and easy-to-use instrument used for most surveying tasks including engineering and mining applications. It is equipped with magnetically damped vertical circle compensation for fast and accurate zenith angle compensation. The provided optical plummet makes it easy to center the instrument on the survey point with the help of…

What is Digital level
Digital Level and Bar Code Applicator. Digital, electronic image processing to determine heights and distances in this surface, with automatic recording of data for later transfer to a computer. A digital level is an automatic level (pendulum compensator) capable of performing normal optical leveling with a rod graduated in feet or meters. When used in…

Auto level
Automatic levels are extremely popular in modern day surveying work and are very easy to set up and can be used with any amount of accuracy.They can be simply mounted on a tripod and can be set up and the circular bubble brought to the centre easily even on an angled and uneven surface. The…

What is (GPS) Global positioning system
GPS is a satellite navigation system designed to provide instantaneous position, speed and time information anywhere in the world at any time and in any weather.Present usage of GPS for positioning includes personal navigation (hiking, boating, hunting, driving directions, etc.), aircraft navigation, offshore survey and vessel navigation, fleet tracking, dredging, machine control, civil engineering, land…

Total station advantages
Quick alignment of the instrument on a tripod using a laser plummet.The onboard area computation program will calculate the area of the field and the area computation is more accurate.Graphical view of plots and land for quick visualization.As soon as the field work is finished, a dimensioned area map is prepared after data transfer.Multiple plotting…

Total electronic station
The total station is a combination of an electronic theodolite, an electronic distance measuring device (EDM) and a microprocessor with a memory unit. With this device, one can determine the angles and distances to the points to be surveyed from the device. Using trigonometry, angles and distances can be used to calculate the actual positions…

What is (EDM) Electronic distance meter
An EDM is an electronic device that is easily used to measure distance. To measure distances between two points, the instrument is set up at one point and a pole with a prism is placed vertically at the other point. The EDM device transmits an infrared beam that is reflected back into the unit by…

signals code in ranging
One should not talk loudly in the field as it will lead to exhaustion. Hence the following hand signals should be followed during the range of the line.
