Summary/Abstract: This paper describes the design and measurement of an internal test facility for length measurements. The purpose of setting up this control baseline is mainly to verify precision instruments of a few millimeters such as geodetic total stations and laser scanner instruments for educational and research activities. The paper describes the measurement process for the baseline reference distances using an absolute laser tracker and the statistical results of the tests using the baseline for two proprietary total stations.
