Unit 7 Robotic Total Station （智能型全站仪）For many years, the optical transit was the surveyor’s tool of choice to measure angles.（多年以来，光学【optical】经纬仪一直是测量人员测角的工具择）By the 1970s, however, the electronic theodolite began to replace the transit since it could measureangles more accurately on both the horizontal and vertical axes.（然而，20 世界 70 年代，由于【since】它在水平轴和垂直轴方向上测角更精确【就是水平角竖直角】，电子经纬仪开始代替经纬仪。）In the early 1980s, “total stations,” which measure distances very accurately by using electronicdistance meters (EDMs), became the instrument of choice.（80 年代早期，采用 EDMs 非常精确的测距的全站仪，成为测量仪器的选择。）Then in late 1990, Geodimeter, Dandryd Sweden introduced the first “robotic total station” addingautomatic tracking and radio communication to a radio and data collector at the “target” or pole.（然后在 90 年代后期，瑞典 Dandryd【应该是瑞典的一个地名】Geodimeter【公司名】，推出【introduce 介绍、提出】了第一台“智能型全站仪”，在“目标”或测杆上增加了一个有自动跟踪【automatic tracking】和无线电通讯【radio communication】功能的信号和数据收集器）Thus, for the first time, no person was required at the instrument——only at the target, reducingthe size of a survey crew.（这样，第一次，仪器不再需要人——除了目标点，减少了测量人员）Total Station （全站仪）A total station is the most commonly used instruments now in geomatics engineering, which is fullyintegrated instrument that capture all the spatial data necessary for a 3-dimensional positionalinformation.（全站仪是现在测绘工程中使用最普遍的仪器，完全综合的【fully integrated 考虑到平时介绍全站仪的词句，我们可以翻译为全站型】仪器，可以获取所有的反映 3 维空间位置信息所需的空间数据。）A total station integrates the functions of an electronic theodolite for measuring angles, an EDM formeasuring distances, digital data and a data recorder.（全站仪整合了电子经纬仪的测角功能和 EDM 的测距功能，以及？？和数据存储器的功能）All total stations have similar constructional features regardless of their age or level of technology,and all perform basically the same functions.（不管他们工艺的年代和水平如何，所有的全站仪的结构【constructional 构造的 feature 特征】都是类似的【similar】，都能基本【basically 基本地】完成相同的功能）After the instrument has been set up on a control station, centered, leveled and properly oriented,and the prism target has been set up over
