For tachymeter measurements, distance types describe how a distance has been measured.

Description |
|---|---|
|
Slope |
Distance that has been measured along the slope between the center of the instrument and the center of the prism target. This distance will be reduced to horizontal distance. |
|
Horizontal |
Distance that has been measured horizontally. |
You specify a default distance type in the Instrument settings. See Instrument Manager.
If available, the distance type is imported from the field data. For example, in a (*.RO) file, points with the key dc:2 are of type Slope. For detailed information see description of input formats.
