    1.Definition and use of total station, theodolite, and tacheometer


    TERM DEFINITION USE
    TOTAL It is an optical surveyor’s instrument that To measure distances from one
    STATION combines a transit and an electronic point to another by using
    distance measuring device. A total angular measurements between
    calculates angles and distances for three points.
    surveyed objects.
    THEODOLITE It is a surveying instrument used to It is the most accurate
    measure vertical and horizontal angles. instrument to measure the
    horizontal and vertical angles.
    But they can also be used for
    locating points on a line,
    prolonging surveying lines and
    finding differences in elevation.
    TACHEOMETER It is a surveying instrument used for the It is used for rapid
    rapid determination of distances, measurements and determines,
    elevations and bearings. electronically or electro-
    optically, the distance to target.
    2a. Difference between a total station and theodolite.
    A total station incorporates a theodolites functions into it’s programming, measuring angles
    and using an electronic distance meter. Theodolites are usually inferior to total station due to
    the fact that total stations have their digital integration and more consistent precision.

    2b. Step by step procedure for mounting and use of total station for surveying.
    i. Gather the survey equipment, stake, and tools.
    ii. Establish a new temporary benchmark
    iii. Set-up the tripod
    iv. Attach the tribrach and coarse level the tripod over the benchmark
    v. Continue to level and adjust the tribrach as necessary
    vi. Set the instrument on the tripod
    vii. Connect power supply and communication cables

    viii. Power-on the instrument and controller to access the fine level
    ix. Fine level the instrument and compensate
    x. You are ready to survey!

    2c. Sources of errors in the use of EDM for survey measurements.


    The error sources are classified as internal and external errors. The internal errors for EDMs can
    be regarded as zero error, scale error, cyclic error and so on. These can occur due to some
    deficiencies on instruments and reflectors. On the other hand, the external errors are caused by
    atmospheric refraction.

    3a. What is photogrammetric survey and how is its use to contemporary civil
    Engineers? Use practical examples.
    Photogrammetric surveys establish targeted, and occasionally non-targeted, photo control on
    the ground to relate aerial photographs to a project’s horizontal and vertical datums.
    Photogrammetry is use to civil Engineers in the following general areas: Interpretation of aerial
    photographs, topographic mapping, planimetric mapping, presentations of reports,
    experimental measurements and inventorying.

    3b. Brief relationship between GNSS/GPS/GIS/AutoCAD.


    GPS is traditionally refers to the north American global positioning system, GNSS is a term that
    refers to the international Multi-constellation Satellite system. So GNSS typically includes GPS,
    GLONASS, Baidu, Galileo, and any other. GIS is a software program that helps people use the
    information that is collected from the GPS satellites. GIS use geographic coordinate systems
    and world map projections while CAD coordinates are relative to the object being modeled and
    are not usually relative to any particular place on earth.
