The use of the total station demands two
persons: One moving from point to point
with the prism and another one at the station.
It is self-evident that they have to be highly
trained professionals, not the least the carrier
of the prism as regards observing even the
slightest variations of surface elevations.
Moreover the transport of instruments must
be sufficiently careful.
The use of the total station obviously saves
time as compared to the older plane-tabling.
Fewer station points are needed, each one
covering larger areas and longer distances,
weather conditions are less important, and
the after-treatment of data is much faster, as
all calculations are made in the computer.
Up till now the computerized surveying
has not - unlike plane-tabling - given a
