Objectives:
Procedure:
Computations:
1. The index error (IE) is determined by subtracting the values of Ꝋr from Ꝋn and dividing
the difference by two or
2. The Index Correction (IC) is equal in amount to the index error (IE) but opposite in sign
or
𝐼𝐶 = −𝐼𝐸
3. To determine the correct value of any vertical angle read from the same instrument, the
index correction is added algebraically to the observed vertical angle or
𝐶𝑉𝐴 = 𝑂𝑉𝐴 ± 𝐼𝐶
Due consideration should be made for signs. An angle of elevation is a positive angle and an
angle of depression is a negative angle.
