MODULARIZED LASER-BASED SURVEY SYSTEM

摘要

A modular laser-based surveying system is disclosed which comprises a laser-based distance measuring module and a separable compass module removably coupled to the laser-based distance measuring module. Each of these modules may be operated as stand alone units as each has its own power supply and display. The system may further comprise a separate angle encoder module adapted to be coupled to either the laser distance measuring module or the compass module and a data logger or computer for processing data transmitted from any or all of the modules.
