In the distance-measuring program 6

Reflector = D0 · (1 + ppm · 10-6) + mm
"Averaging", the following values are
displayed: 10
= displayed slope distance [m] D = slope distance as arithmetic
ζ D0 = uncorrected distance [m] mean of all measurements
ppm = scale correction [mm/km] s = standard deviation of a single 12
mm = prism constant [mm] measurement
Instrument 21
n = number of measurements
=Y-A·X·Y
These values are calculated as 26
= X + B · Y2 follows:
Mean sea level
1 45
D= · ∑n i = 1 D i
n
= horizontal distance [m]
= height difference [m] ∑ = sum 84
1100Z36

Y = · |sin ζ | Di = single measurement

Height measurement X = · cos ζ 92
ζ = vertical-circle reading (∑Di)²
The instrument calculates slope ∑ni = 1 (Di - D)² ∑ni = 1 Di² - n
s= =
distance, horizontal distance and 1-k/2 n-1 n-1
height difference in accordance with A = = 1.47 · 10-7 [m-1]

automatically. The calculated hori- k = 0.13
R = 6.37 · 106 m s
zontal distance relates to the station SD =
