ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an arrangement for coaction with a distance measuring instrument in the setting out of boundaries or like demarcations. The distance measuring instrument includes an electronic distance meter, a vertical angle meter (18) and a horizontal angle meter (19), a signal processing and computer unit (16, 16') which computes the position of a measuring reflector (12) in relation to the instrument, and an input means (17) for input of desired setting-out data for an area of land into a memory location in the computer prior to a setting-out operation. The distance measuring instrument is held directed towards the measuring reflector and repeatedly makes measurements thereon. With each measuring occasion, the computer unit (16) ascertains whether or not the data obtained lies within a predetermined, acceptable tolerance range in relation to the setting-out data. If the measured data lies outside this range, the computer establishes how the reflector should be moved in order to be located within the tolerance range. An indicator is controlled by the movement signals produced by the computer unit and in response to these signals continuously gives to a person positioned adjacent the reflector a clear, discernible indication of whether the reflector shall be moved, and if so, in which direction or directions, or if the reflector should be left as it is.
