13. COORDINATE MEASUREMENT

By performing coordinate measurements it is possible to find the 3-dimensional
coordinates of the target based on station point coordinates, instrument height,
target height, and azimuth angles of the backsight station which are entered in
advance.
• EDM setting can be done in coordinate measurement menu.

PROCEDURE 3-D Coordinate Measurement
The coordinate values of the target can be found by measuring the target based
on the settings of the instrument station and backsight station.
The coordinate values of the target are calculated using the following formulae.
N1 Coordinate = N0 + S x sinZ x cosAz
E1 Coordinate = E0 + S x sinZ x sinAz
Z1 Coordinate = Z0 + S x cosZ + ih - th
N0: Station point N coordinate S: Slope distance
E0: Station point E coordinate
Z0: Station point Z coordinate

Z (zenith angle) is calculated as 360° -Z when the telescope is in the face 1
position.

Z: Zenith angle
Az: Direction angle
ih: Instrument height
th: Target height
