The radius determines the sensitivity of the bubble tube:

R1 greater than R2
Sensitivity: how much the bubble moves due to a given
amount of inclination. The more the bubble moves, the more
sensitive the bubble tube is.

To provide visible horizontal and vertical reference lines in the
telescope.
Line of collimation
With adjustment screws the diaphragm can be moved in
the telescope to adjust the line of collimation.

The Surveyor’s telescope
Parallax
When focusing the telescope, the real image formed by the objective
lens is made to coincide with the diaphragm.
What is the parallax?
When viewing two distant objects approximately along a straight line, and
the eye is moved to one side, then the more distant object moves relative
to the other in the same direction.
This can lead to observation errors (wrong reading, wrong sighting).
If the real image formed by the objective lens does not coincide with the
diaphragm a parallax is observed -> the reading depend on the position of
the eye!

Setting up the level
1. Fix the level on a tripod
2. Center the circular bubble by adjusting the foot screws.
(to approximately level the instrument)

Setting up the level
3. Sight the levelling staff:
first: rotate the telescope in the direction of the staff
second: use the fine motion screws to ensure precise sighting
(note: on some instruments the fine motion screw works only, when
the alidade is fixed using the fixing clamp)
4. Adjust the levelling bubble using the levelling screw.
Sz. Rózsa: Surveying I. – Lecture 1
The Surveyor’s level
Automatic level
We must adjust the bubble tube before every reading when
using the tilting level -> takes a lot of time, may cause blunders
(large mistakes in the observations)
An automatic level contains an optical device, which
compensates the tilting of the telescope - called compensator.

Operation of the compensator
Advantage: faster observations, elimination of a possible
reason of blunders
Disadvantage: vibrations (wind, traffic, etc.) have a bad
impact on the operation of the compensator

Adjusting the level
The two-peg test
How much is the collimation error ()?
Collimation error - the line of collimation is not horizontal, when the level is levelled
1. Establish a test line on an approximately flat surface.
2. Compute the elevation difference between the test points (A and B)!

The effect of collimation error cancels, when d1=d2.
Thus the height difference is:

3. Move the instrument to an external point on the extension of the AB line.
4. Compute the elevation difference from the observations (note that the elevation
difference contains the effect of the collimation error)!

DHAB
Solution: Since the equipotential surface is approximately spherical, the effect of curvature
is a function of the instrument-staff distance. When the backsight and foresight distances
are equal, the effect of curvature cancels out.
Sz. Rózsa: Surveying I. – Lecture 1
Systematic error in levelling
The refraction
The air has different optical properties everywhere. Air pressure, humidity
etc. Have an impact on the refractivity. Thus the light does not propagate
along a straight line, but along a curve:
For points with the same elevation, the effect of refraction can be neglected.
What to do, when they are not?

Solution: the instrument should be set up exactly in the middle
between two points, thus the effect of curvature is the same

Solution: the reading should be taken in both order, and the mean value
of the height differences should be computed (assuming constant
observation speed)

Settlement of the staff
Problem:
The staff has a subsidence during the observations. a
change plate must be used to support the staff.
Solution:
- all lines should be run twice in the opposite directions;
- a change plate must be used to support the staff.
Graduation error of the staff
Problem: The cm graduation on the staff is not
accurate. The units have different lengths.
Solution: staffs must be calibrated regularly (the
graduation must be checked in laboratories).

Problem: The bottom of the staff is not aligned with the 0

The sum of two height differences:
DH = [(lBS)+d1]-[(lFS)+d2)]=lBS-lFS+d1-d2
DH = [(lBS)+d2]-[(lFS)+d1)]=lBS-lFS+d2-d1
Sz. Rózsa: Surveying I. – Lecture 1
Systematic error in levelling
DH1 = [(lBS)+d1]-[(lFS)+d2)]=(lBS)-(lFS)+d1-d2
DH2 = [(lBS)+d2]-[(lFS)+d1)]=(lBS)-(lFS)+d2-d1
DH1 +DH2 = S(lBS)-S(lFS)
When two staffs are used, an even number of stations have to
be created in the levelling line. In this case the effect of the
index error of the staff cancels out.

Procedure of levelling
1. The instrument must be set up with the same distance to the
staffs.
2. The bubble tube must be levelled before each reading (tilting
level).
3. You must not use the parallax screw between the backsight and
foresight readings
4. The bubble tube must not be affected by strong heat.
5. Readings must be taken 30-50 cm above the ground.
6. Staff should be set up vertically.
7. A change plate should be used to place the staff on the ground.
8. Levelling must be done in two opposite directions.
Sz. Rózsa: Surveying I. – Lecture 1
Procedure of levelling
9. All the observations should be made with a constant speed.
10. Observations should be made only in suitable weather:
cloudy sky, constant temperature, early morning, or late
afternoon.
11. Staff should be calibrated.
12. If there are three hairs in the diaphragm, one should use all
of them to take a reading.
13. When two staffs are used, an even number of stations must
be used to create the levelling line.
