ABSTRACT:
A surveying instrument and a surveying method for further minimizing a measurement error when the surveying instrument casts a light to a measuring object and receives the reflected light and measures a delay time or a distance. A reference pulse light r and a measurement pulse light o1are received as a received light signal by a light receiving section9, and a damping signal S3U is formed from the received light signals r, o1, and an amplification rate of a minute level signal in the proximity of a zero cross point Q0of the damping signal S3U is greatly amplified, and timing signals r′, o1′ are formed by using an amplified signal. Therefore, the measurement error can be minimized.
