Abstract: The previous achievements were summarized. With the help of universal angle ruler and steel tape, a new method based on the principle of sine cosine theorem was proposed to measure the height of total station. And the influential factors of error were analyzed. The method has high measuring accuracy and applicability. Yet, the topography affection to it is not obvious. It can be used to other similar measuring instruments. The new method has a certain significance to the actual engineering.

Key words: the law of sines, the law of cosines, instrument height measurement, new method
