    14.7 Reduction Formulas Formulas Mean Sea Level Instrument Reflector Slope distance Horizontal distance Height difference The instrument calculates the slope distance, horizontal distance, and height difference in accordance with the following formulas. Earth curvature (1/R) and mean refraction coefficient (k = 0.13) are automatically taken into account when calculating the horizontal distance and height difference.
