Two New Windows Applications Bring Calculated Industries Top Calculators to your PC



Any construction worker or machinist knows how much math is involved in getting a project done right.  And if you’re like me, you have a specialized calculator to do the math for you.  How else are you going to draw up plans for stairs, calculate dimensions of a building, or know exactly how many rafters are needed without manually crunching numbers? Need to know the exact angle for a beam or figure out the percentage of the slope behind that property?  Easy… just punch it into the calculator.

It’s a great relationship, at least on the job site…

But what happens when you’re at your desk working on the PC doing a job bid? Or when you’re in CAD and need to verify that certain parts of the plan are even feasible.  Maybe you just need to crunch numbers to make sure the accounts are in balance with your other financial programs.

If your calculator is outside in the truck or one of your ill-prepared colleagues has borrowed it for the umpteenth time, you have to save the file, go out to the truck, get the calculator, head back into the office, and pick up where you left off.  It’s a pain and waste of time.

Calculated Industries has the solution. Finally, the power of their Construction Master and Machinist calculators on your Windows computer!

Topcon OS and ES Series Exclusive Features – What Sets it Apart from Other Total Stations?

Wise consumers often look for that so called “X-factor” when buying certain things. A survey conducted by a Finnish telecommunications company known as DNA suggests that new features are a great motivation for buying a product*.  In fact, a mobile phone with outdated features is the second most important reason why people acquire a new one.

The same principle applies to choosing a total station! 

In the survey industry, it is hard to stand out in a crowd full of impressive land surveying equipment. That is why Topcon created its arsenal of exclusive features to make surveyors feel more privileged to own their field instruments. But this isn’t a marketing gimmick; it is groundbreaking technology with only one goal in mind – to produce a reliable device that easily records the most accurate distance and angle measurements.
