What is a Total Station?
A total station (a.k.a. EDM, transit, theodolite, the instrument) 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.
EDM (Electronic Distance Measuring Device): An EDM is a device mounted on the top of the total station that sends out a light wavelength. The EDM measures the time it takes for the light to travel from the EDM to a prism, bounce off the prism, then return to the EDM. This measurement is displayed as distance, but it is really a measurement of time. Very accurate distance measurements are taken using an EDM.
Theodolite (Transit): A theodolite measures horizontal and vertical angles. Horizontal angles are measured along a level horizontal axis. Vertical angles are measured along a level vertical axis.
Components of a Total Station
Tripod: The base that the total station instrument is mounted on.
Plumb Bob: Used to center the tripod over a point (an optical plummet on the instrument can also be used).
Total Station Instrument: The electronic unit that combines the EDM, theodolite, and field notebook.
Prism and Rod: A prism is mounted on a graduated rod. The EDM reflects light off the prism. The rod has a circle level to keep the rod plumb.
