The mini and the regular circle prism should have the same accuracy but the 360 degree prisms are typically 6" or 8" rated so aren't advisable for long traverses
Hi Mohammad!
On the prism's mount You can read the modelname.
If You are using Leica prism, it may be:
Obviously, You must input the proper prism's constant at the beginning of the survey.
Otherwise, the distance will be affect by wrong offset.

Set up test locations (possibly inside) and check everything periodically
your prism constant is very valid.Normally a -30mm constant is applied for large prisms.A small prism has a different prism.
Acha swal kiya h aapne... bahut ae log is ka shikar hte hain pr pta na hone ki wjah se loig galat smjhne lgte hain.... ha ye sahi h ki sahi prism type na dalne bahut fark pdta h.
Jaisa prism type aap use kr rhe ho wahi prism type machine e seected b chahiye.
Or agr maloom krna ho ki actually prism constent kitna h toi uys ke .... field me total station ke aas pas prism lga kr machine se direct distance measure kre or use distance ko measuring tape se check kro... jo diffrence hoga wo prism coinstent hipiga
Hi NAYUM KHAN
May you say in English plz
1 mini (17.5mm)
2 round (34 mm)
3 mini round(0)
Hello Mohammad,
It's wise to check the prism's you are using.
Be aware of the fact that all the Leica prism's incorporate a standard difference of -/-34,4mm, which is regarded as Leica 0 (zero) value.
So I would like to propose a small test with 3 tripods in line. 1--2--3.
Take a distance measurement from 1 to 2 plus 1 to 3.
After that that set up on 2, and measure the distance to 1 and 3.
Compare the distances.
The first distance uses only 1x the prism constant value. When you set up from position 2 it's using 2x the prism constant value.
If possible use a seccond total station to,eleminate system failures.
hope this helps.
you can always define a new prism name + constant value in your instrument settings.
Regards, Peter
Yes. different prisms have different offsets, Is normally written on the prism. Leica round is 0mm (or -30mm) to other manufacturers
