Resection

To determine the location of the total station occupation point by measuring known points.

To calculate the three dimensional resection, minimum two points with distance measurements are required. With angle-only measurements, three points are required. If additional points are measured, a least-squared solution is used.

To select the resection method and to configure resection settings, click and select Options from the dialog menu. Selected method and configured settings retain between sessions. Currently selected resection method is shown in the dialog title.

The resection wizard helps you to perform the procedure:

  1. Specify the occupation point in the Define Instrument setup group.

  2. Specify and measure known points.
  3. Several dialog views are available to perform multiple known points measurements: The Resection: Normal view is used to specify a known point to measure and the Resection: Map view provides visual control over available points locations. The Resection: Results view is used to review performed measurements results and to calculate the resection. Use the view selector in the dialog title bar to switch between views at any time.


  4. To review, manage and accept the results of performed measurements on a number of known points, use the controls provided in the Resection: Results dialog view.

Note: Read more information on performing Resection in Hybrid Positioning™ Mode where TS and GNSS measurements are used simultaneously.
