The recording, readings & the necessary calculation are performed through a micro processor situated in the instrument.

Benefits of The Total Station

1. With the application of the laser plummets, the setting of the instrument on the tripod can be done quickly.
2. On- board area computation allows the users to work out the area of field.
3. Well suited with the local language.
4. Computerization of the old maps.
5. Calculation for the area can be performed more precisely.
6. Graphical view of the plots and land for quick.
7. Incorporation of the data base.
8. Complete ( GIS ) formation (with map info software).
9. The calculation can be made as per the requirements of users.
