Nice to watch, haven't used a total station since 2014. I was on vacation, our students left the instrument in the survey vehicle over the weekend and it was stolen. Luckily it was replaced with a GPS and we made a deal with Topcon to have base station on our City Hall. This was great for us, we could roam anywhere in the city and take shots, monuments even back then were not being maintained or replaced. I'd still love to have a total station for those places I can't get a good signal with GPS.

Great video. 1 thing I'd like students to remember is memorize "Bubble Up" i.e the side on which the BUBBLE is(out of circle of course) would be UP. Which means you have to bring that side down to level the instrument.

@PimpBeetle138 3 года назад

Hi Rami. I really appreciate your videos and I think you are doing great work for the survey community. I was wondering if you could show us how you would go about setting up a total station on a project that is using either a grid or ground coordinate system and explain the importance of the scale factor and how to input the scale factor into the total station. I have heard of people not accounting for the scale factor and then their distances end up incorrect. Is this something that you could do?

@RamiTamimi 3 года назад

Glad you like the videos. Scale factor is very important when it comes to working in State Plane Coordinates as it takes into account the curvature of the earth. A lot of times people don't account for it because they are working on a small site in a local system, so the scale factor really doesn't change their distances. But of course I can make a video taking about it.

Dear Rami, thank you very much for your rich content and great effort in helping surveyors and students. I want ask you about measuring instrument height. Should the surveyor measure the slant Ht. or vertical Ht.? The manual for my total station don't say anything about it.

@er9875 Год назад

Occasionally after I slide the reticle back over the nail and zero out the numbers on screen, the level bubble is slightly out of balance. Is there an efficient way to correct this or do you just have to start the whole process over again in order to get the bubble perfectly centered?

@klperch Год назад

Hi Rami, great videos, i might be missing something very obvious - but, if i already have Northing and Easting locations for the points i want to set out, how do i 'tell' the total station where it is? Or phrased in another way, how do i know the Northing / Easting of the reference point? How do i work it out? In my case, a surveyor carried out a topographic survey, the architect created a site plan, from which i pulled the easting / northing data of the buildings corners, and now, i want to use my total station to peg those corners out - but i have no existing reference on site. Hope you are able / willing to clarify - either way, still great videos and i'm now a subscriber. Thanks!

@edjimpreche2523 3 года назад

Rami I did my first survey camp today and it was awesome and your video was very helpful! My question that I would like to ask you is how come when I kind of leveled my Total station and when I turn it on it doesn't show me the Level & Plummet screen to fully level it with the screws rotation?

@freeway8914 3 года назад

I believe you have to manually go to the screen if it doesnt pop up

@RamiTamimi 3 года назад

Great work, I hope surveying treats you well. You can always open the leveling screen on your total station and continue leveling to a more precise level.

@matangaeunyo3661 2 года назад

@DroneMappingTools 3 года назад

Some people show leveling, then turn 90° and level again. If you get it dead center I am assuming there no need to turn 90° ?? Your videos are awesome!!

@Bolensgoldrush 3 года назад

Yes, so long as the instrument is calibrated properly internally (i.e. low internal error)

@RamiTamimi 3 года назад

Turning 90 degrees and verifying the bubble is still in the middle is a calibration test. If you equipment has been recently calibrated, you should be fine. But very good point!

@Garovl 3 года назад

How you do it that you wont completely mess the position of the Total Station above the point when you try to adjust the level by adjusting the legs?

@RamiTamimi 2 года назад

The total station isn't moving when I move the legs up and down, it stays relatively close to the point we are occupying.

@TheAndraeMcRae 3 года назад

$15,000 worth of surveying equipment at any given time, yet can't get someone there to watch the clipping on his Lav. Make sure to monitor sound levels! That being said, this is still a great and really really helpful video, and honestly thank you for being so thorough in your explanations! But for sure, just watch those input levels

@TheAndraeMcRae 3 года назад

@@RamiTamimi still absolutely love it, and you're bless for this as it's something I've been curious about for years!

@Alaskaislarger 3 года назад

The best way is to put tri-pod over the point and stomp the legs in, WITHOUT THE INSTRUMENT ON IT! It dont take very long to get good at setting tri-pod first. Expensive robot total stations will stay in adjustment and thats the proper way to set up.

@RamiTamimi 3 года назад

You are correct, having the total station on can be dangerous if you are on unstable land. Luckily for me, my yard is flat and so I don't run the risk of soil breakdown. But thank you for mentioning this!

@michaelmolter6180 3 года назад

My theodolite (no EDM) has bubble in a circle and a bubble on a straight level, but doesn't have this electronic leveling. How would the process change? Do you have a video on this? I usually use the straight level and adjust the feet, then turn the instrument 90° and repeat---this doesn't always work great, and I find I'm out of level again at a new angle. Maybe my instrument is just out of calibration?

@michaelmolter6180 3 года назад

Ah, figured it out. Turns out the bubble level needed recalibration. Very easy to do, and now it works great. READ THE MANUAL!

@RamiTamimi 3 года назад

Glad you figured it out. Yes EDMs usually have digital bubble assistance to precisely level the equipment more than the human eye can.

@4touchdowns1game29 3 года назад

well I can safely say that the bubble level is nowhere near what you think it is till you are working with a digital reading. You can look perfect with the eye only to realize your gonna be adjusting knobs for a while to actually get level.

I am new to the field just started as a field guy 5 weeks ago and I am learning as I go and plan to enroll into a surveying program next fall. But in the meantime I'm trying to absorb as much as I can until then. Regardless I appreciate your videos my friend! Thanks!

@natestone6570 3 месяца назад

@frankzersky2286 Год назад

Hello Rami, It would be helpful to your followers to get an understanding of how one would approach a tripod setup in a more challenging real world conditions ie. stone walls, sloping terrain etc. in those cases a plumb bob can speed up the process, but certainly the projection of an imaginary line through each of the legs to intersect at the setup point, while insuring the tripod top is somewhat level will result in less frustration. It should also be pointed out that laser and optical plummets can add to frustration if the tripod head is not leveled first. On a different topic, I was amazed to find “3d scanner App” can produce contours (isolines) of a site by selecting “More” then “Capture Floorplan Image” followed by “Isolines” and specifying “Isoline Step” interval. Amazing! Keep up the good work!

How to know where to set up the reference point? The one you see on the view finder? Hope you reply. Thank you!

@RamiTamimi 3 года назад

The reference point should be placed somewhere were the most amount of points can be collected. For example, if you set up in a corner away from everything, this is a inefficient set up. You want to set up in an open area where you can see the most from that location.

You need to establish 2 points. Set your total station on one, and then back sight the other one. This will set up the job for you and you can begin surveying. Be sure to specify the correct prism you are using as well.
