When the Spectra Precision Survey Pro is running, the software has additional func-
tions that reduce the bottom mark measurement to the
required vertical instrument
height to the trunnion axis, see Figure 4-53 and the following paragraph.
Fig. 4-53 Instrument height measurement
The measured distance (Hm) is corrected for the slope of the measurement to obtain a
vertical measurement to the bottom mark (Hc). The constant from the bottom mark to
the top mark (0.158 m/0.518 ft) is added to the Hc to obtain the
vertical instrument
height from the ground mark to the trunnion axis (Ih). For more information, refer to
the Spectra Precision Survey Pro documentation.
Alternatively, to obtain an accurate measurement to the top mark (Ih), you can manu-
ally measure the slope distance from the ground to the bottom
mark (Hm). To calcu-
late the total instrument height (Ih), insert t
he measured slope distance (Hm) into the
formula below:
