Calculation

After the measurements are done, the average inclination and the deviation can be calculated from the results. The results give the coordinate system axis-aligned inclination components and standard deviations, as well as the resulting inclination and its direction.

Requirements

  • Inclination measurement files from previous measurements

Methodology

In each horizontal position 2 angles are given. The calculation is carried out with the following general steps:

  1. For each position

    1. Calculate cross and length offset of the standing axis 1 meter above the measurement center.

    2. Convert cross-length coordinates to polar

    3. Correct inclination direction with instrument bearing

    4. Convert polar inclination back to coordinates

  2. Calculate mean and deviation of inclination coordinates

  3. Convert mean coordinates to angles for axis-aligned results

  4. Convert mean coordinates to polar inclination

Results can be either printed to the terminal, or saved a CSV file.

Usage

iman calc inclination

Calculate inclination from measurements.

Crosswise and lengthwise inclination components together with the corresponding azimuths can be used to calculate an oriented resulting inclination. The program first calculates the axis-aligned inclination components (and their deviations if multiple measurements are available), then computes the resulting inclination and its direction.
