Yes, but it is an indirect process requiring two operators- or at least a fixed surveying target on which the surveyor aligns his Stadia wires ( popularily Cross hairs) There are different scales but a base-line of l00 feet and in some cases l00 power is increasingly standard. consulting a table and some number-juggling is needed to get the distance, and more importantly the Vertical rise and Fall ( gradient, up or down) The theodolite is better adapted to this type of surveying, than a mere ( range finder)- which is can be used for- but with some shifting of tactics and technique. The basic tables in the technical manuals assume a base line distance of l00 feet, then there are angles, etc.
