    29.1 Overview Description Leica instruments are manufactured, assembled and adjusted to the best possible quality. Quick temperature changes, shock or stress can cause deviations and influence the instru- ment accuracy. It is therefore recommended to check and adjust the instrument from time to time. This can be done in the field by running through specific measurement procedures.
  • Page 531 Precise measurements To get precise measurements in the daily work, it is important: • To check and adjust the instrument from time to time. • To take high precision measurements during the check and adjust procedures. • To measure targets in two faces. Some of the instrument errors are eliminated by aver- aging the angles from both faces.
  • Page 532 Tools...\Check & Adjust TPS1200 The instrument should be protected from direct sunlight in order to avoid thermal warming in general and especially on one side of the instrument housing. It is also recommended to avoid strong heat shimmer and air turbulences.The best conditions can be found usually early in the morning and with overcast sky.

Using GPS measured points with the TPS1200 requires coordinates in a local grid system, for example, based on a country’s official mapping datum or an arbitrary grid system used in a particular area such as a construction site.
  • Page 821 Transformation parameters A transformation consists of a number of shifts, rotations and scale factors, depending on the type of transformation used.

  • Page 823 Transformation Characteristic Description Onestep Principle Transforms coordinates directly from WGS 1984 to local grid and vice versa without knowledge about the local ellipsoid or the map projection. Procedure: 1. The WGS 1984 coordinates are projected onto a temporary Transverse Mercator projection. The central meridian of this projection passes through the centre of gravity of the common control points.
  • Page 824 Determine Coordinate System - General TPS1200 Transformation Characteristic Description When measurements are to be forced to tie in with local existing control. For example: A site where the coordinates of the control points are based on a purely local grid. The coordinate values within this grid are totally arbitrary and are in no way connected with any ellipsoid or map projection.

  • Page 826 Determine Coordinate System - General TPS1200 Transformation Characteristic Description Advantage • Errors in height do not propagate into errors in position since the height and position transforma- tions are separated. • If local heights have low accuracy or do not exist, a transformation of position can still be calculated and vice versa.
  • Page 827 Transformation Characteristic Description Twostep Principle Combines the advantages of the Onestep and the Classic 3D transformation. It allows treating position and height separately, but is not restricted to smaller areas. Procedure: 1. The WGS 1984 coordinates of the common control points are shifted closely to the local datum using a given Classic 3D pretransforma- tion.

  • Page 829 Transformation Characteristic Description • Fits much better over larger areas than a Onestep transformation. Reason: The first step of a Twostep transformation avoids any distortions due to the fact that the preliminary grid coordinates are built on a different ellipsoid than the local points.

  • Page 989 SHIFT 2FACE (F4) To take a measurement in Face I and Face II. The point stored is an average of the two measurements. When using instruments fitted with ATR, the point is automatically measured in both faces, the resulting point is stored and the instrument is returned to the first face.

    42.5.2 Working Example Description Application: The positions of stakes, indicating the corners of a house that is to be built, need to be measured relative to the title boundary of the property that the house is to be built on. This is done to check that the house is not being built too close to the title boundary in keeping with council regulations.
