Accuracy of total stations is very high, and they have been in use over a period of time long enough to justify confidence in their accuracy and reliability.
The largest discrepancy between the measured distance and that obtained from the total station was.005 m., and the average (for 30 measurements which could be compared) was.0015 m.; the standard deviation from the mean of the discrepancies was.0014 m.
The third part of the total station is an electronic distance-measuring device which determines the distance between the station and the target at which the instrument is aimed (normally a prismatic reflector).

 A Simplified Total Station System Check to Determine Performance Characteristics - GISCafe
Results from both, a three-dimensional free station position and the point accuracies from a three dimensional co-ordinate transformation using minimax technologies, reveal practical information on the total station for the surveyor.
An alternate method of checking the total station’s performance (not calibrate) in an easy to operate measurement scenario is described in this paper.
In this age of “black box” technologies, when monitoring the state of operation of one’s instruments is difficult, the authors propose this method to help surveyors track the performance and reliability of their instruments.
