    2. After setting temperature and air pressure in the instrument, measure the Horizontal Distance of AB and AC accurately. 3. Set the instrument on Point B and center it accurately, measure the Horizontal Distance of BC accurately. 4. Then you can get the Instrument Constant： K＝ＡＣ－(ＡＢ＋ＢＣ) K should be closed to ０，If ｜K｜＞５ｍｍ,the instrument should be strictly inspected in the standard baseline site, and adjusted according the inspection value.
