Total stations from Leica Geosystems are worldwide known for their highest precision, reliability and durability. Gerhard, why do total stations need a user calibration from time to time? In this Q&A Gerhard Kleemaier, Product Engineer for total stations at Leica Geosystems in Heerbrugg, Switzerland explains how it works and how simple it is. Nevertheless, it is necessary to do a user calibration always with adequate care. The procedure is very simple and can be done within some minutes. All offered Leica Geosystems total stations – manual and robotic – and MultiStations offer users the possibility to do a calibration on their own. To be sure that a total station fulfils these requirements at any time, it has to be re-calibrated from time to time. To measure with high precision and reliability, total stations must fulfil specific accuracy requirements.
