12.4 3-D COORDINATE MEASUREMENT
The instrument user may determine the coordinates of a target points based on the
station and backsight data along with rod and target heights.
The coordinate values of the target are calculated using the following formula.
N1=N0+S×sinZ×cosAz
E1=E0+S×sinZ×sinAz
Z1=Z0+S×cosZ+ih-th
N0:Station N coordinate S:Slope distance ih:Instrument height
E0:Station E coordinate Z:Zenith angle th:Target height
Z0:Station Z coordinate Az:Direction angle
