The SRX is an advanced total station from Sokkia that offers an integrated solution by providing SDR functionality within the total station. The SDR functionality increases the efficiency of your total station for: •
Traversing
•
Topographic surveys
•
Setting out
The SRX is also a convenient link to Sokkia’s office-based plotting and design software. With SRX instruments, you can define horizontal and vertical road alignments, or load the alignments from your computer. You can then set out the road by station and offset, including catch points. Sort out your points by azimuth to minimize set out time. The SRX supports tangents, circular arcs, and spiral curves in the horizontal definition, and straight grades and parabolic curves in the vertical. The SRX also supports building faces in non-vertical planes.

Communication Setup Observation data, after being obtained from Basic mode and stored in Program mode, can then be output to a host computer or other external instruments via an RS232C cable or wireless technology for further processing.
