What Are The Difference Between Theodolite And Total Station
THEODOLITE
1. Theodolite is an instrument that works on rays of light theory and has an operating system mechanically. A telescope is fitted at right angles to the horizontal axis of the center. The turning and revolving are controlled mechanically.
2. Theodolite gives the result of targeting between ranging poles, ranging rods, or signals.
3. Theodolite gives the reading of vernier, micrometer, and on display. The theodolite has the angles reading arrangement is vernier, micrometer, or nowadays in the display.
4. Theodolite is used to measure the horizontal and vertical angles. It does not give coordinates. Theodolite gives the optical distance measurement if the telescope fitted stadia hairs.
5. The precise centering and leveling have done by tripod and leveling screw.
6. The theodolite requires permanent adjustment from time to time.
7. The theodolite has no quick centering and leveling arrangement.
8. The traverse survey by theodolite required extra manpower for measuring distance and more skilled persons were required to take the reading.
9. Take the extra time to calculate reading, bearing, and coordinates.
10. Difficult to make reading in a dark and cloudy environment.
USES OF THEODOLITE.
A. Measuring horizontal angle.
B. Measuring the verticle angle.
C. Measuring the deflection angle.
D. Measuring magnetic bearing.
E Measuring the horizontal distance between two points.
F. Finding the verticle height of the object.
G.Findig the elevation between various points.
H. Alignment of a line.

TOTAL STATION
1. The total station also transit theodolite attached to an electronic distance measurement. The total station is digital surveying equipment in the field for digitized work.
2. It works on the light emission theory.
3. The total station has the advantage to give a digital reading on the display, which is attached to the total station.
4. The total station gives the reading of horizontal angle, verticle angle, slope distance, horizontal distance, coordinates, and elevation of the point from the instrument.
5. There are two types of modes for taking the reading with reflector and reflectorless in the total station.
6. No permanent adjustment is required the only calibration is required in a year.
7. No more extra and skilled manpower is required in the surveying with a total station.
8. No, take extra time to compute the reading.
9. The survey data has been stored in the memory disc in the total station.
10. No, take extra time for temporary adjustment.
