Stonex R25/R25LR Total Station - User Manual 67
8.6. Area & volume
The application is used to calculate areas of points connected by straights in real time. The target points can be
measured in real time, selected from memory or entered via keypad.
A: Start point
B, C, D: Target points
p: Polygonal perimeter, length from start point to
the current measured point.
S: Calculated area always closed to the start
point.
The calculated area is projected onto the horizontal plane (2D) or projected onto the sloped reference plane defined
by 3 points (3D). Furthermore, a volume with constant height can be calculated with respect to the area (2D/3D).
P0: Station
P1-4: Target point which defines the sloped reference plane
a: constant height
b: Perimeter (3D), polygonal length from the start point to the current measured point of the area (3D)
c: Area (3D), projected onto the sloped reference plane
d: Volume (3D)
e: Perimeter (2D), polygonal length from the start point to the current measured point of the area (2D)
f: Area (2D), projected onto the horizontal plane
g: Volume (2D)
