tape. The wave emitted from the EDM reaches the reflector and return to the EDM.
Then the distance is measured with the help of time taken for the above process –
time taken by the wave for the emission and return. Then the following equation
used to measure the distance,
The present EDM instruments have the following features, absolute circle reading,
laser plummet, endless drives, 30 x magnifications, high resolution LCD display,
Upload and transfer data, data editing and exchange and connectivity to 3rd party
devices. The electronic distance measuring equipment is differentiated into three
types as, microwave instrument, infra red equipment and light wave equipment.
The surveying equipment functions with the help of micro waves come under this
category. Normally these used to measure long distances within 100km with their
frequency range. The very first instrument was discovered in South Africa by Col.
Harry and developed by Dr. T. L. Wadley in 1950’s and the equipment named
as Tellurometer. Tellurometer uses the above mentioned technique, the phase
comparison of wave to determine the distance. In this method two equipment and
two operators needed to carry out the procedure. Micro wave signals are radiated
from primary source equipment to the reflector and then the reflector amplifies the
micro wave signals to send them back to the primary source equipment in exact
phase as they emitted from. B this method a maximum distance of 80 to 100km can
be measured with an error correction of + or – 5 to 15 mm per km.
The surveying equipment functions with the help of modulated infra-red waves come
under this category. The use of infrared instrument is high in civil engineering
surveying as they are inexpensive and more accurate when compare to the rest.
Although these type of instrument used to measure up to a maximum distance of 3 –
5km, many civil engineering works limited to this
distance. Distalmost and electronic tachometer or total station instruments falls

under this category. In distalmost, the instrument should be focused to the reflector
distalmost to receive, monitor and reflect back the wave signal. With a single touch
the instrument displays the distance on the screen after measures the five
modulation frequencies of infrared wave signal. The total station is the combination
of electronic theodolite and electronic distant measurement equipment which can
show the angles, elevation and distance. In these instrument an accuracy of + or –
10mm per km can be obtained.
The light wave instrument use visible or simply light which means wave lengths that
are visible to human eyes to measure the distance. The measuring range of light
wave instruments is lesser that that of microwave instruments as because of the less
transmitting power of light wave instruments. Here primary equipment is used as
light wave emitting instrument and corner cube prisms are used as reflectors. When
compare to the rest this method is more cheap when compare the value of
instruments. Geodimeter falls under this type of instrument. The one and only main
consideration in this type is the alignment of equipment as the reflected wave travel
parallel to the emitted wave which means the divergence of emitted wave is less
than that of one degree. The plus points of this type instruments are, no signal loss,
cheap instrument, one main instrument is enough and a very high accuracy of = or –
0.2mm to 1mm per km.
EDM fieldwork report which we are using a Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM)
is a major advance in surveying. Linear measurement were performed directly by
means of calibrated ropes, poles, chains and/or steel tapes. Indirect measurements
determining the number of full and partial wavelengths of transmitted
electromagnetic energy required in traveling between 2 ends of a line. In this report
we measured the location at Civil Engineering Department.
I. Principles of EDM
Measures distance by comparing a line of unknown length to the know
wavelength of modulated electromagnetic energy

The data obtained for the EDM is stored in a data collector and later
downloaded for processing using computer drawing software. Below the
image on the top left shows the EDM being used to place the corner of a
vehicle at the scene. An example of the type is shown below.

c) Cyclic error
Caused by the non-linearity in amplitude modulation of the carrier
wave and the phase measurement.
Varies across the modulated wavelength.
For an instrument in good adjustment, this error is normally small and
can be neglected for a normal engineering survey.
2.0 OBJECTIVE

A tripod stand is a three-legged support platform for the level. The main function of
the tripod stand is to ensure a stable instrument setup for reliable measurements.
The legs of the tripod can be adjust to get the vertical height that required. Once the
instrument is moved, then it must be set up again which is to loosen the screw and
adjust again and lock it back tight. It usually has a flat tip and a mounting screw for
instrument attachment. It is also to make sure that the levelling tripod placed
horizontally.

Optical Plummets is a device that used to centre the instrument over a ground
station. It is used in place of a plumb bob to centre transits and theodolites over a
given point, preferred for its steadiness in strong winds. The procedure speeds up
the setting up process as well as protect the instrument from accident, because it
has a lock below the optical plummet to lock the devices that used in fieldwork.
Sometimes, the optical plummet can be used to perform angular or distance
measurements from the survey point.

Ranging rod is used to mark areas and to set out straight lines on the field. It is also
used to mark points that must be seen from a distance. The length of the ranging rod
is either 2m or 3m. It is made up of wood or metal. Ranging rod usually painted with
alternate red-white or black-white bands.

The spirit bubble is used for maintaining both level rods and sighting poles in a
vertical position. An out of adjustment of spirit bubble level will cause accumulative
error in level lines. It can used in traversing and levelling measurements in
fieldworks. In order to get an accurate measurement for both, the spirit bubble level
must be inside the middle of the black circle. It is located on the optical plummet and
levelling rod.

Plumb bob is used to check if the object are vertical. A plumb bob consist of a piece
of metal pointing downwards, which is attached to cord. It is normally tie on the
optical plummet by using the string. When the plumb bob is hanging free and not
moving, the cord

7.0 DICUSSION
The zero angle will be set on point A as well and turned the theodolite to point
D and measure to get the stadia reading as well as the horizontal and vertical
angles. After we get the all the readings and the angles from one point, we switch
the theodolite to another point and repeat the same procedure again to get another
point of readings.
What we found out that was hard for us is we couldn’t get the spirit bubble into
the black circle. But after Mrs. Hisyarita had taught us, finally we can measure
ourselves very fast and accurately.
At the end of the process, the total angles must be 360°. However, in our
report from the table of the field data, the total angle was 245° 30’ 00’’. Thus, we
knew that there was a misclosure error occurred as there is a difference of 1’ 10’’.
Means in every angle we measured, there is a 14’’ of error. Therefore, we used the
trigonometry traversing calculation technique to solve it. After compile everything, the
report is finally done.

8.0 CONCLUSION
As we taught in class that the horizontal reading must be taken twice which is
the first reading is taken, then turn back again to take the second reading. We also
did recorded the top stadia, middle stadia and bottom stadia readings to calculate
the length of the perimeter of the traverse since we didn’t have a measuring tape.
The angles are usually obtained through the usage of equipment provided by our
lecturer. However, we were unable to obtain the exact reading of 360°, therefore,
some adjustment was made to achieve 360° in our traverse survey completely.
Although the formula was hard for us to understand and apply compare to
levelling, but we try hard to learning with a spirit of not giving up. We really do likes
site surveying because we can feel that we are working together.
