Great tutorial! My Geomatics instructor pretty much did the same thing. People should really watch this if they are wondering how to set up a total station. I'm only set one up twice and pretty much did exactly as you have
Hes aight at it. Any eyeman on a field crew in survey would blow this guy out of the water with speed/accuracy. Doing the same thing 5000 times will do that. Lol.
THANK YOU SIR..... I GOT SOME TIPS FROM YOUR TEACHING ABOUT TOTAL STATION SETUP...... I LOVE SURVEY ALWAYS....SURVEYING IS LIKE AS MY HEART ALWAYS FOR ME. I WANT MORE TIPS ABOUT TOTAL STATION................ NICE TEACHING....
Hi Topcon I have a problem with the GTS-235 I need help When working layout this is 0.00 ........................... I want to change 0.000 To be working in a millimeter manner I want to explain how to do this from machine settings
hola amigo tengo este mismo modelo pero cuando ago un punto de cambio ... digamos en el 20 cuando quiero jalar de la lista me dice ke no hay archi y no existe ... pero cuando lo descargo esta normal... los puntos.
que tal Andrew, mira tengo una south NTS355R tengo un problema con el angulo vertical y lo he querido ajustar, con F1 y encender con power simulatanemente, despues dando enter a un punto X a la misma altura del aparato en pantalla directa, y despues al mismo punto X en pantalla inversa, supuestamente con esto deberia corregir y ajustar el angulo vertical, sin embargo me envia mensaje de error, queria preguntarte si sabes acerca de este procedimiento o si me podrias sugerir algun otro procedimiento, he pensado en buscar acceder al microprocesador de la estacion y reinstalar su firmware, pero aun no encuentro la forma, cualquier comentario sera de mucha utilidad, gracias..
hello i have an old total station geodimeter 400/500 1996 but it's still operational ! i hope if anyone could tell me on which command i should press so it does give me coordinates directly instead of distances and angles :) ?
Le sigh, you forgot to include checking/averaging the wander of your laser plummet (Ive NEVER had a perfect plummet...used many machines). Do this by rotating the machine and watching the laser as you rotate. Good wander is less than a hundreth. Bad wander, you may be averaging 5 hundreths of error. At this point, you NEED calibration. As unless your firm is localizing large projects...you may end up with over a tenth...maybe two at the end of your traverse. Also, the recentering after you rough level is backwards, and unneccessary. Instead level your instrument, then move your leveled instrument over the point, spin it again (to average your wander)...then relevel. Centering it over the point just wastes time, and youll get a feel for if you are too far out for your set of legs and have to reposition. Ive seen vids that say a good setup should take 15 minutes plus. I average about 45 seconds. More for control, as you want that especially tight. Especially with a topcon like the one hes using. Friggin love those things, theyll shoot even when you cant SEE the prism thru cedar and such. And as long as its not control...accuracy is pretty close, topos are especially easy with the ol topcons.
Thanks for this video Its everyone can easily understand But i request you please put video regarding Tilt set up after Switch on Machine. Bce I am having Topcon GT 3000 new machine but there is Tilt setup showing only X axis and Y axis not showing us,. Pls help me to resolve this issue
Tilt setup can work two ways. I choose to line mine up over a single post. You can do it over the front two as well. X and y are just your vertical plane. So if you point the side of the gun toward a single post, the other two will control your x...and x will ALWAYS change y. If you position it as he did in the first plane level, ofer the front two posts, x will be independent, and y will always change x. Whichever way you do it, one will only slightly change the other (x changes y, but y doesnt change x much...in my first example, where you point the side of the machine toward a single post), and the other will DRASTICALLY change the other. You are essentially leveling the way he does, but digitally. So turn the side of your instrument to a single post, and do X BEFORE Y. Get your x good (within 5 secish if you arent doing rocket surgery)... Then focus on y. Get them both within 5 secs of 0...then do the same as with the other gun, check plummet position and average wander. Relevel. Now, at the end, you are going to want to flip it 180 degrees. See what that says. Unless you are out 10 sec id honestly roll with 30 sec unless im doing something EXTREMELY PRECISE)...you should just roll with it...if you are out more than that...until you can get it recalibrated, you can just average the error on both sides of the 180, and you should be good enuf.
I forgot to add, you must rough level it before it even shows how far you are out. And after, make sure to turn the laser off and go back to the main screen on ur gun (or the dc wont communicate with it).
At tilt screen, L-on is i think the function that turns your plummet on initially. It varies. You might have to hit alt f3, as he did, to turn ur plummet on. If you have an optical plummet...well, thats a whole nother can of worms.
go to coordinate input .key in the coordinates of course you have to assign file's names first.. after finishing go to menu and choose 'Layout' option from there you access resection option
