Testing of the accuracy dependency of prismless distance measurement on the beam incidence angle

Abstract

The article assesses the precision development of distance measurement using prismless distance meters, both in relation to the changing length of the measured distance and the changing incidence angle of the distance meter’s beam. The article presents the design and performance of an original experiment, the characteristics of instruments used, statistical evaluation of experimental data and formulation of conclusions on the precision rate of distance measurement using prismless instruments.
