A theodolite is used to measure angles of a plane. This can be both vertical or horizontal, and it is used with high precision.

To measure Angles, Process of Measuring Horizontal and vertical Angles
theodolite is a surveying instrument.It is is used for measure the horizontal & vertical angles also.parts of theodolite trivet,upper plate lower plate,plomb bob,telescope,vernierscale,leveling screw,tribrach,etc.,
An altometer is another name for a theodolite, a surveying instrument used to measure horizontal or vertical angles.
A theodolite measures angles and axis needed for site surveying. The horizontal and vertical angles are measured using a theodolite. A theodolite is actually a mounted telescope used in building.
A theodolite machine is a tool used by land surveyers to measure verticle and horizontal angles. A digital theodolite machine is one with a digital display. You may fine video instruction on how to operate this machine on youtube.
Most theodolites have no "permanent" adjustments, since they are used to measure angles, both horizontal and vertical.
A theodolite is a precision measuring instrument used to measure angles in the horizontal or vertical plane. The instrument is mounted on a tripod and should be very precisely placed in order to make correct measurements.
In dumpy level we can check only horizontal angles whereas in theodolite we can check vertical angles also.
ROAD
Surveying instrument of high precision, can measure both vertical and horizontal angles, unlike a level telescope which is limited to the flat angles. The name is believed to come from the Greek- meaning, The Eye of God.
