For further details, please refer to the article Using theodolites in mechanics – Intersection measuring systems (IMS) [R 1 382] in this treatise, as well as paragraph 2.3.3 of the article Controlling angles [R 1 300] .

6.1 Principle

A theodolite can be used to measure the direction in which points on a part, machine or site can be seen from a fixed point.
