IntroductionThese are some working notes to help people set up the Leica TCR 305 for survey work. In this How to Do Manual I will try and explain the Position–Azimuth and the Two Station set-up systems in the situation when you know the location of two points. The two points will be P1, your survey station where the Total Station is located, and a second point, P2 some distance away. These positions can either be predetermined from a previous survey, or determined using a differential GPS such as OmniStar.
