They are measured through calibration on a known baseline

C.

They are engraved on the instrument's scale

D.

They are provided by the instrument manufacturer

Answer ( Option B)

They are measured through calibration on a known baseline

Solution

  In surveying, a tacheometer (also spelled tachymeter) is an instrument used for rapid and accurate measurement of distances, angles, and elevations. 

The stadia constants of a tacheometer are parameters that need to be determined for accurate distance measurements using the stadia method. 

Th e stadia constant of a tacheometer is determined through calibration on a known baseline. 

The stadia method involves observing the apparent vertical spread of stadia hairs in the instrument's telescope, which is used to calculate distances. 

The accurate determination of stadia constants is crucial for precise distance measurements using a tacheometer. 

• The constants may vary for different instruments and should be re-calibrated whenever the instrument setup or conditions change.
