Download Solution PDFExplanation:
A Total Station is an advanced surveying instrument that combines various technologies for measuring angles and distances accurately. However, not all features are typically integrated into its design.
Analysis of Options:
-
Doppler radar for atmospheric compensation (Not integrated)
-
Doppler radar is used in meteorology and satellite tracking, not in total stations.
-
Atmospheric corrections in total stations are generally done using temperature and pressure sensors, not Doppler radar.
-
-
Theodolite for measuring horizontal and vertical angles (Integrated)
-
A total station includes a theodolite to measure horizontal and vertical angles.
-
-
EDM device for measuring distances (Integrated)
-
Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM) is a fundamental part of a total station, used to measure distances accurately.
-
-
GPS receiver for real-time kinematic (RTK) surveying (Possible in advanced models)
-
Some modern Robotic Total Stations integrate GPS and RTK for precise positioning.
-
However, traditional total stations do not rely on RTK GPS for primary measurements.
