What is Survey
Surveying is an art of determining
relative positions on the surface of
earth with respect to each other.
To represent the features of the objects
on the ground graphically in a drawing
the data on the ground will be collected
using different survey methods and
then it will be plotted in the drawing.
History of Survey
In olden days people used to measure
the distance between two destinations
by manual estimation.
Then linear measuring devises like
chains are came in to use to measure
the linear measurements and cross
staffs to erect right angles.
To measure the area of a boundary
chains and cross staffs are being used
by the people in olden days.
The disadvantage of this method is that
using a cross staff we can divide the
area in to triangles. We cant measure
the angles accurately with cross staff.
To eliminate this problem theodolites

are introduced to measure the angular
measurements.
In the first generation of the
theodolite family vernire theodolites
are introduced which works with the
principle taking readings using
vernire scales.
The distance measurement can be
done using stadia constant in the
theodolites.
In the next generation 1 theodolites
are introduced with the facility to fix
EDM on the top.
Then electronic theodolites are
introduced. These theodolites can
also having facility to mount EDM on
the top to measure distance.
In electronic theodolite angels are
being measured using two scales
which are encoded to display the
angular measurements in digital
display fixed to the instrument.
We have to note the angular
measurements from theodolite and
linear measure measurements from
EDM
To plot the positions on drawing we
have use a protractor and scale.
If we use co-ordinate system we can
directly plot the position on the drawing
with reference to its X or E and Y or N.
To calculate co-ordinate from
angular and linear measurements
data we need to do mathematical
calculations.
These calculations are to be tabled in a
sheet then those readings are to be
marked on a graph sheet to represent
the ground locations in a drawing.
What is E.D.M
E.D.M is the electronic distance measuring
device, measures the distance from the
instrument to its target. The EDM sends out
an laser or infrared beam which is reflected
back to the unit, and the unit uses velocity
measurements to calculate the distance
traveled by the beam
Using E D Ms drawbacks
EDMs measure in a straight
line
If the EDM is held horizontal, the results are

horizontal distance.
If the instrument does not include a means to
level it, distance must be considered to be a
slope distance.
If the EDM is mounted on a theodolite or
built into a Total Station, horizontal
distance can be determined
The instrument measures slope distance
and vertical angles, then computes
horizontal distance
If mounted separately, slope angle must
be determined by another method to
arrive at horizontal distance.
If separate, the EDM is usually mounted on

a tribrach.
Tribrach is a special tripod mount, which
provides an optical means of locating over
a point.
What is Total station ?....
A total station is a combination electronic
theodolite and electronic distance
measuring device (EDM).
With this device, as with a theodolite and
tape, one may determine angles and
distances from the instrument to points to
be surveyed.
With the aid of trigonometry, the angles
and distances may be used to calculate the
co-ordinates (x, y, and z or northing,
easting and elevation) of surveyed points in
absolute terms.
To calculate co-ordinates, the measured
angular and linear data is transferred to a
microprocessor in the total station.
Using the inbuilt programmes of the

microprocessor according to the programme
chosen by the operator the results will be
displayed on the screen.
The co-ordinate data can be saved in the
internal or external memory of the total
station instrument.

MANUFACTURES ASSOCIATION
PENTAX manufactures the most modern surveying

instruments employing superior opto-mechatronics
PentaxR-300x series employ two
unique features
Automatic Environmental Sensing.
Auto Focusing.
Auto Focusing
Telescope focusing has been automated

with push button auto focus capability.
The operator can also use power focus or
manual focus for special situations
Automatic Environmental Sensing.
The environmental correction (PPM) is

calculated from data supplied by electronic
temperature and pressure sensors. The operator
does not need to measure or input this data; the
instrument takes care of it automatically and
continuously
Other advanced features
Absolute angle encoders

On board processing software
Absolute angle encoders
Absolute encoders are used for faster startup,

better vertical angle accuracy and more
consistent horizontal reference angle
orientation
