Surveying instrument with receiver for satellite position-measuring system and method of operation
First Claim
1. A measuring instrument for a satellite position measuring system, comprising:
- a satellite position measuring receiver;
a contactless, inclinable range finder for geodetic determination of a target, said range finder including a sighting system for aiming at said target; and
a plumb staff apparatus mounting said receiver and said range finder in common for locating said receiver and said range finder at a geometrical point, said plumb staff apparatus including a sensor for indicating a vertical position of said plumb staff apparatus.

Abstract
A surveying instrument for satellite position-measuring includes, a range finder (2), which is preferably non-contact-measuring and tiltable, combined with a satellite receiver (1) in a geometrically unambiguously defined relative position. These two instrument parts are mounted geometrically unambiguously in common plumb rod (3) or on a measurement stand. A vertical sensor (4) and a sighting device (5) are additionally provided, whereby simultaneous monitoring and setting respectively of the vertical direction and of the direction of the range finder measurement beam is permitted. Using the instrument, it is also possible to determine, in terms of coordinates, such points which formerly could not be surveyed using satellite position-measuring systems.
