Patent attributes
A sensor rod assembly includes a master stick and an extension stick, where the master stick and the at least one extension stick are couplable together via at least one of a physical coupling, an electrical coupling, or a communicative coupling. The sensor rod assembly includes a controller with one or more processors, where the one or more processors are communicatively coupled to at least one set of detection circuitry and a user interface, where the one or more processors are configured to execute a set of program instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to receive one or more detection signals from at least one of the master stick or the extension stick and configured to cause the one or more processors to determine an elevation of a laser light based on the received one or more detection signals.
