ANGLE MEASUREMENT
1.
Vertical Plate left/right observation
“
Plate left”
means the vertical plate is on the left side by the
telescope when the observer faces the eyepiece. “
Plate right ” means
the opposite to the “
plate left”
. Taking the average reading of t he
“
plate left”
and “plate right”
as the observation value can effectively
remove the corresponding effect on the observer from the system
errors in the instrument. Therefore, turn the telescope 180 °for the
“
plate right”
observation after the accomplish of the “plate left” during
the observation of the horizontal and vertical angle.
2.
Target aim
?
Point the telescope at the brightness and focus the eyepiece until
the crosshair can be seen clearly.
(Turn the focusing knob in the direction facing the observer, t hen
focus in reverse direction.)
?
Aim at the target coarsely using the coarse aiming device. The
definite space can be kept between the device and the observer
when aiming coarsely.
?
Focus the target by turning the focusing knob on the telescope.
Attention:
The visual errors of the target and retic ule crosshair will be created
in the horizontal and vertical direction if the telescope or the
eyepiece are not focused precisely, which can result in the
measuring errors. Focus for the telescope and eyepiece sho uld be
necessary to remove the visual errors.
