Abstract
An electronic survey instrument provided with an electronically controlled survey unit for metering at least one of a distance and an angle. A storage unit having two memory devices is provided for storing an operating system, a control program on one device and data on the other. The control program is created on a stand alone computer on the basis of the operating system. A central processing unit outputs a control signal for the electrically controlled survey unit in accordance with the operating system and the control program. A communication interface converts the control signal from the central processing unit into a signal suitable for the electrically controlled survey unit, and transmits the converted signal to the electrically controlled survey unit.
