What is a Total Station? A modern surveying instrument that integrates an electronic theodolite with an electronic distance meter is called a total station. A theodolite uses a movable telescope to measure angles in both the vertical and horizontal planes. They come in two different types. The first is transit, which rotates in a full circle in the vertical plane. The second is non-transit, rotating in a half-circle. Digital theodolites are great, but total stations are much better. Therefore, not only are they more versatile and accurate, but they can also make you more efficient. Once you measure and log.
