STUDY OF THE LED REMOVABLE NOZZLE ON THE REFLECTOR OF AN ELECTRON TOTAL STATION
The article presents the results of a study of a removable LED nozzle on the reflector of an electronic total station. A description of the LED removable nozzle on the reflector of the electronic total station is made. The results of measurements of the runtime of pointing the device at the reflector at night, at various distances and in bad weather conditions (snowfall) are presented. A comparison between the results of studies with different backlight modes of the total station reflector is made. Models of reflectors with pulsed illumination manufactured by various instrument-making enterprises and their cost are given. Based on the results of the studies and analysis, conclusions on the use of a removable LED nozzle for performing geodetic measurements in the production of engineering and geodetic surveys and other types of geodetic works are drawn. The advantages and disadvantages of the LED removable nozzle are given.
