The term Baseline refers to the length of the survey starting from a PRS 92 control point to another PRS 92 control point for checking purposes.

Baseline is the measured distance between two PRS 92 control points that provides the reference for checking the survey. In a geodetic network, this line is measured with high precision and used to anchor the scale of the entire network and to detect inconsistencies in other measurements. By comparing the observed baseline with the expected or known value, you can identify and correct errors through network adjustment, ensuring the PRS 92 coordinates are reliable. This is different from a tie line, which connects points to relate different parts of a network, or a known line, which is simply a line whose length is already established, and from azimuth, which is the direction alone.
