17. RESECTION MEASUREMENT
To determine the coordinates of an instrument station by performing multiple
measurements of points whose coordinate values are known is the process of
Resection.

By using from 2 to 10 known points (Coordinates), the total station can calculate an
instrument station position. If more than two points are used in the resection routine, the
coordinates of the instrument station are found using a least squares solution. Therefore
the more known points measured, the higher the calculation precision of the resection
point.

To properly use this function, please enter coordinates in a clock wise position and
measure them in that same manner.
