Free Station
Free station is used for a station setup on an unknown point.
The station coordinates and the Hz-circle orientation at the station
are calculated from measurements for up to ten known points.
A combination of directions and distances or of directions only may
be measured to the target points.
If bad target points are found in the Free Station results, they can
be suppressed or remeasured. The Free Station can be
immediately recalculated.
Free Station is mostly used when more than two known points are
available around the station. Measurements to additional known
points allow a reliability control of the calculated station coordinates
and orientation.
In building and construction sites, Free Station can be used where
the establishment of a permanent station is not practical, or where
a marker is likely to be destroyed.
For Stake out, data collection or cadastral survey, Free Station
allows you to choose the instrument location with the best view of
the working area.
