What is a "total station"?

A total station is a modern surveying tool used to measure distances, angles, and elevations with high accuracy. It combines an electronic theodolite, which measures angles, and an electronic distance measurement (EDM) device, which measures distances, into one instrument. The total station is used to collect data for mapping, construction, and land surveying, allowing surveyors to create precise measurements and layouts. It can also store and process data, making it a powerful tool for large-scale projects. Total stations often use a computer interface to record and analyze measurements in real time.
