Total Station
- A total station is the ultimate in survey instruments. A total station combines a digital theodolite and an EDM that work together with a microprocessor to rapidly and accurately perform tasks. With this combination, the total station can measure horizontal and vertical angles, slope, and horizontal and vertical distances. A total station also has a built-in calculator that performs trigonometric calculations, as well as an electronic field notebook used for storing data. The total station can interface with a computer for data transfer.
