Introduction to Theodolite Setup

UCLA Surveying presents a dreamteamworks production:

Introduction to Theodolite Setup!

In order to make accurate and precise measurements using a total station or theodolite, the instrument must be set up properly. This video will give you a very basic idea of the process, but there is a lot more to learn! Be sure to come out to surveying workdays for the opportunity to get hands-on experience with equipment as well as learning the concepts behind instrument setup.

Jestem geodeta i potwierdzam jest to dobrze zrobione. Lepiej nauczyć się na optycznym niż laserowym. Choć laserowy jest szybszy i prostszy to optyczny jest podstawowym i używanym przez wiele lat.

How can i zero set the theodolite plz tell me?

[fourfortyroadrunner]

Completely inadequate instruction. You must ask yourself, "could someone set up and use this instrument with no further instruction? The answer is no, and I understand older, traditional transits and theodolites. USN ETR-2 68-74, NAS Miramar 70-74, GCA RADAR maintenance. Periodically we were required to FAA flight check the GCA glideslope, which at the time envolved an FAA (usually DC-3) and a theodolite near the runway.
