How to's tips and tricks (Calibration Baselines)

Posted by Ty Olinghouse on February 12, 2011 at 12:46am in Surveying Best Practices

I remember when i was climbing the ladder in my Surveying career, and heard my boss and the party chief talking about taking there new or used equipment to a calibration baseline to check there new or old equipment. I wasn't experienced enough so i usually got to stay behind and make copies or something...

 

this frustrated me, because i cared about the condition the equipment was in, and i wanted favorable results everytime...

 

i tried engaging in conversation afterwords to learn as much as i could, and really never got it..

 

I thought i would post this document i found, for others to refer too, if its been a long time and they forgot, or just want to learn! very informative

How to Utilize Surveyor Forums

How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.

We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

All Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.
