The leveling instrument (also leveling device, simply level) is a measuring instrument with which differences in height are measured and height horizons are established.
For this purpose, the level has a telescopic sight, the aiming axis of which is aligned perpendicular to the plumb line by means of a precise level or similar device – today mostly a pendulum compensator. The scope is freely rotatable about the plumb standing axis – usually also with an endless fine movement. Therefore, it is possible to look all around with a horizontal line of sight. Any two points lying in this horizon have the same height.
