It is named so because of the shorter telescope it uses and also because in the original dumpy level the eye piece was an inverting lens such that it gave a shorter view for the same power of lens compared to wye level.

How do you use dumpy level to find the relative heights?
Dumpy level provides a horizontal line (parallel to earth's curvature); you can read the scale by holding it normal to the ground level. Take separate readings for separate points then compare them
A variable known only to the procedure in which it is declared is called what?
a procedure-level variable
What is medium programming language?
actually it is the c which is known as medium level language because it can perform operations bit by bit as a low level language and is suitable for making any application software as a high level language
Is java an assembly language?
No. Java is a high level language also known as object oriented programming
What is high level to binary language and binary to high level?
High-level to binary is known as compilation or interpretation, depending on whether the entire program is converted at once (compilation) or only one statement at a time is converted (interpretation). There is no conversion from binary to high level -- it's one-way only.
How do you level a dumpy level?
it is a spirit level
What is the advantage of auto level than dumpy level?
The auto level makes it easier to do the work. Using the dumpy level requires you to put in all of the work.
How do you do temporary adjustment of dumpy level?
It as 3 following steps to adjust the dumpy level 1.SETTING 2.LEVELLING.3FOCUSING
What is advantages and disadvantages of dumpy level?
One advantage of the dumpy level is that it is extremely mobile. A disadvantage is the difficult in using and making accurate measurements.
What level do you use to shoot a datum?
Dumpy
What is the difference between a theodolite and a dumpy level?
In dumpy level we can check only horizontal angles whereas in theodolite we can check vertical angles also.
What are parts and functions of a dumpy level?
You can find all of these parts by looking up the diagram of a dumpy. They are available with a simple image search.
What are the fundamental axes of dumpy level?
i honestly dont know

How do you calibrate a dumpy level?
AIM/PURPOSE: To describe the instruction for the calibration of Dumpy Level to ensure that equipment is maintained in fully serviceable condition, is safe to operate and meets environmental requirements. FOR THE CALIBRATION OF DUMPY LEVEL The method described below is to be used on-site check prior to use as to the accuracy of the Dumpy level between calibration checks. This Work instruction shall be conducted at the commencement and completion of a contract. 1. Drive two pegs, "A" & "B", into the ground six metres or more apart 2. Set Dumpy up at "C" 3. Shoot a level at "A" and "B" 4. Relocate Dumpy to "D" and shoot a level at "A" and "B" 5. Record the appropriate result in the workbook. (Levels shot at "D" should be within ± 10mm of "C") D A C B
How do you adjust the the dumpy level?
First take the dumpy level to the place of surveying and place the tripod on the ground. Make sure that the three points of the tripod is placed such that the observer can take readings quite easily. Then take the dumpy level and place it on tripod and fix the center nut and make sure that the dumpy level doesn't shake. Then check the bubble level in the dumpy level and use adjust the main level screw so that at least 2/3 of the bubble is inside the circular area of the bubble level. Then adjust it by the other two screws and rotate the dumpy level 90 degrees and check whether the bubble shows a leveled stage. If it shows that the bubble is centered then it is O.K the dumpy level is leveled..... Then in order to take a reading, the u bubble should have to be leveled adjust the screw in the right side(there are a few adjusting screws,please get to know the actions performed by the screws, for that we must handle the instrument for sometime) and make sure the 'U' shape is formed. Now the instrument is ready take readings.....
What is a dumpy level?
A dumpy level (or spirit level) is used to establish the height difference between two measured points; or can be used to establish points (over an area/ or horizontal plane) which have the same height.Dumpy levels have been replaced by more modern laser leveling devices, but are still used extensively in the construction industry as they are cheap and easy to use (although not as accurate as laser levelers).Dumpy level
