Leica 1000Z01 user manual Remote Height, Introduction

Remote Height

Introduction

This manual describes the "Remote Height" program of the TPS System 1000 theodolite series. The distance and the angle between two points is calculated by the program.

The elevation of a remote height point is calculated from the zenith angle to the target and from the measured distance to a reflector situated vertically below or above that target.

To ensure correct results, the target and the reflector must be lined up vertically. In practice it is not generally possible to maintain an exactly-vertical line, and so you must decide what lateral deviation can be tolerated. The horizontal distance to the inaccessible target must however coincide with the horizontal distance to the reflector.

When the instrument is aligned and the station

coordinates have been set, the position coordinates of RH the remote height can be calculated and stored in the

data file.
