2 PREPARATION FOR MEASUREMENT
l
Prism type-2 (Normal prism)
l
Prism type - 3 or 5 (Prism unit A2/A3)
(Example)
In case Prism constant value (C) = 0mm, Prism inclination = 20°, Measuring distance = 100m by Prism
type-2 :
l
Distance error is :
From the graph prism type-2, the distance error shows in increasing range quantity 2.5mm along
curved line of C=0 when prism inclination is 20°.
l
Angle error is :
From the graph prism type-2, along curved line of C=0 with prism inclination of 20°, find angle error
quantity (14.2mm) and calculate angle error by the following formula.
