INTERACTIVE MENU DRIVEN COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR SOLVING FIRST ORDER DESIGN PROBLEM USING SEQUENTIAL LEAST SQUARES METHOD

Abstract

The technological progress in surveying engineering and the growing demand for more accurate measurements and the high labor cost require a very careful design of survey control networks.

In this thesis an interactive menu driven program was developed using Visual Basic Language for solving the first order design problem using sequential least squares method.

Tests were carried out to check the software’s trustworthiness, the resulted designed network have just met the precision criteria postulated.
