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
the remote height can be calculated and stored in the
data file.
