Abstract
Total Station differential levelling (also known as trigonometric heighting) is a variant of conventional differential levelling. Differences in height can be determined by making a series of zenith angle and slope distance observations to a prism mounted on a fixed height pole. This technique is conducted in the same fashion as conventional two-way differential levelling.
