全站儀幾乎可以用在所有的測量領域。電子全站儀由電源部分、測角系統、測距系統、數據處理部分、通訊接口、及顯示屏、鍵盤等組成。
同電子經緯儀、光學經緯儀相比，全站儀增加了許多特殊部件，因此而使得全站儀具有比其它測角、測距儀器更多的功能，使用也更方便。這些特殊部件構成了全站儀在結構方面獨樹一幟的特點。
Total station can be used in almost all fields. Electronic total station by the power supply part, Angle measuring system, distance measuring system, data processing part, communication interface, and display screen, keyboard, etc.
Compared with the electronic theodolite, optical theodolite, total station increased a lot of special parts, which makes the total station has more than the other Angle, distance measuring instrument function, use more convenient also. These special components make up the total station unique characteristics in terms of structure.
