Differential levelling is commonly performed with a specific levelling instrument. It is also possible to do it with a total station, which can be even more efficient over areas with large changes in elevation.
The method is outlined in ICSM SP1, and this work aims to help with understanding of the technique.
Read through the PDF called "USQ_TS Differential Levelling Procedure_v2.2.pdf".
A stylesheet has been written to output the observations from a total station levelling survey in standard level book format (BS, IS, FS, Rise, Fall, RL).
Upload the stylesheet to your data recorder and export the job, ensuring that Save As PDF is turned off - must be output as a html file.
Alternatively, download the File and Report Generator from the Software Utility downloads section of this page.
