Control measurements using motorized total stations and field computer

In the area of measurements monitoring the position of checkpoints in space there are new instrumental solutions being developed: servo-motors, ATR (automatic target recognition), PR (power search), etc. These elements enable to accelerate the measuring process considerably, make the results more objective, help avoid target identification mistakes, introducing the possibility to conduct "continuous" measurements supervised by the operational system of an instrument or a field computer. The article presents the monitoring measurement results obtained by means of measuring systems built in the Institute of Applied Geodesy, under the author's supervision.
