Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of total station technology, and in particular to a portable total station. Background Technology
[0002] A total station, also known as a total station electronic tachometer, is an instrument that, once observed at a station, can automatically display necessary observation data such as slope distance, zenith distance, and horizontal angle, and obtain horizontal distance, elevation difference, and coordinates of the point almost simultaneously.
[0003] Currently, in surveying work, the first step is to unfold the tripod, then fix the total station to the tripod, and finally perform leveling. As a precision component, the total station also requires an additional case for storage during transportation. Therefore, at least one total station box and a tripod with a low folding range need to be carried during surveying. In addition, the box must be kept clean during the surveying process. As a result, the existing total station is not only not portable enough, but also has the disadvantages of time-consuming installation and leveling. Summary of the Invention
