    Radial surveying is a method used to determine point coordinates or set out predetermined points by measuring the angle and distance from a known point. It is well-suited for use with a total station connected to a data collector or a robotic total station operated by one person. Points are identified by number in data files and the user specifies both the instrument occupation point and backsight point.

    INTRODUCTION

    Radial surveying is a term used to describe the practice of measuring an


    angle and distance from a known point to tie in another point (determine
    coordinates for its location) or for setting out a point at a predetermined location.
    Radial surveying methods can be accomplished using various equipment
    combinations, but they are ideally suited for the modern total station instrument
    connected with a data collector. Radial surveying techniques are also suited for the
    one-person crew using a robotic total station. Each point is identified by number in
    the data file, and instructions are given to the instrument in terms of commands,
    point numbers, and, in some cases, attributes. If collecting data for a topographic
    site plan, the point numbers may be assigned sequentially by default. In the layout
    mode, the operator specifies the points to be used or staked in any order desired. In
    either case (collecting data or laying out points), both the point occupied by the
    instrument and the backsight point must be specified by the user. (FIGURE 1.)
