The coded glass circles are part of the horizontal and vertical angle measurement systems. An important influence to angle measurement precision and resolution are the size of these circles. A larger diameter improves the angular precision and resolution. Therefore, the diameter of the Leica TM30 coded glass circles have been enlarged approximately 15% compared to typical 1”-total stations. The design and construction of the standards and the alidade considers the size of the enlarged coded glass circles.
