Can you explain how Angle measurement "Pointing Error" works?
Total Stations
A rudimentary example of error accumulation of a total station in an angle and a distance is,
Angular - Distance Error.
Instrument is a Topcon 603 @ 1 Sigma or 68%
DIN 18723 is measuring the angle 1 direct and then 1 reversed pointing.
Angular Measurement:
Standard Deviation is 3'' based on DIN 18723.
Distance Measurement
Measurement accuracy is +-(2mm+2ppm)
Instrument ?1 set at 2, turn 1 direct & 1 reverse, mean =145
Backsight at 1, distance 850.00'=D1 Foresight at 3, distance 1250.00'=D2
Angular Measurement
Pointing Error
p= Estimated standard deviation as 2''
n= Number of pointings
PE=(Pn2),PE=(2''22)=+-1.41''
