The POS 15/18 total station can be used to determine the
exact position of objects or points. The tool is equipped
with horizontal and vertical circles with digital graduation,
two electronic levels (compensators), a coaxial laser distancer incorporated in the telescope and an electronic
processor system for calculating and saving data.
Hilti PROFIS Layout, a PC application from Hilti, can be
used to transfer data in both directions between the total
station and a PC, for data processing and for exporting
data to other systems.
