BASIC CONSTRUCTION OF THE FLAT ANGLE CALIBRATION TEST BENCH FOR GEODETIC INSTRUMENTS

Abstract

In our days precise geodetic instruments are very widely used in geodesy, building structures, surveying, machine engineering etc. Many of those instruments are based on precise measurement of the directions differences (ie measurement of angles). Such instruments are: theodolites, digital theodolites, total stations etc. Testing and calibration of these instruments is quite complicated task, although it is evidently needed. In this paper we present the creation and preliminary research of accuracy of the test bench designed to perform the testing and calibration of such geodetic instruments.
