permanent instrument correction

Determination of permanent corrections of ball reflectors

Today, there are many manufacturers of triple-prism, spherical reflectors with different mechanical characteristics. That is why there is a problem of matching the signal reflection center with the geometric one. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the methods of determining permanent corrections of electronic tacheometers, ball reflectors and to develop recommendations for their use. Method. To determine the instrument correction, a displacement interferometer is used. It contains a two-frequency He-Ne laser with a wavelength of l = 0.63 μm (red range).
