A total station is a surveying instrument that is used to measure horizontal and vertical angles as well as distances. It consists of several components that work together to provide accurate measurements.
Telescope: The telescope is the main component of the total station, and it is used to sight the target. It has a magnification lens and an eyepiece for the operator to view the target.

EDM (Electronic Distance Measuring): This component is responsible for measuring the distance between the total station and the target. The EDM uses a laser or infrared signal to measure the distance.

Microprocessor: The microprocessor is the brain of the total station. It performs all the calculations needed to determine the horizontal and vertical angles and distances.
Data collector: This component is used to store and manage the data collected by the total station. It can be a handheld device or a computer.
Battery: The total station is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery provides the necessary power to all the components of the total station for it to function correctly.
