  • Page 8: Introduction

    The TC605/TC805/TC905/L is particularly suitable for engineering, building and construction surveys with a focus on setting outs, volume determinations and tacheometry surveys. Fast and easy coding facilities are provided. The accuracy of angle-measuring, and the range of its EDM module, are matched to one another.

    Introduction The integrated programs enhance the functionality of the TC605/TC805/TC905/L total station. Daily survey work is simplified by using internally stored coordinates. This largely eliminates the risk of entering wrong information in the field. Points with given coordinates or measured points can be used within the programs.
