BUCK-IN OF AN INSTRUMENT

Buck-In refers to setting the Line of Sight (L.O.S.) of an instrument through two known points. Top: Instrument’s L.O.S. not bucked-in to known floor monuments (F.M.). Bottom: Instrument’s L.O.S. bucked in to floor monuments.

AUTO-COLLIMATION

Auto-collimation establishes an instrument’s L.O.S. perpendicular to mirror. If the mirror isattached to a particular surface, then the instrument’s L.O.S. becomes perpendicular to that surface.

PRINCIPLES OF OPTICAL TOOLING

Top: Collimation-When the Line of Sight (L.O.S.) of two instruments are set parallel but do not share the same vertical and/or horizontal plane. Middle: Collineation –When two instruments share the same L.O.S. Bottom: Planizing - When an instrument establishes a plane perpendicular to a reference L.O.S.
