DATA CAPTURE
This chapter describes how to connect the ZEB‐HORIZON hardware, how to collect raw scan data and how to
download the raw scan data from the data logger.
Connect the ZEB‐HORIZON main cable to the socket on the side of ZEB‐HORIZON scanner head.
Connect the other end of the ZEB‐HORIZON cable to the REVO (orange) socket on the ZEB‐HORIZON data logger.
DO NOT attempt to connect the ZEB‐HORIZON cable (16 pin) to the AUX socket (14 pin‐ with blue marker).
The process of collecting data using the ZEB‐HORIZON scanning system is highly automated. However, care must
be taken to ensure that the collected data can be successfully processed into a 3D point cloud using GeoSLAM’s
unique SLAM algorithm. It is strongly recommended that the user conducts a survey plan, considering the
recommendations set out in the Usage Guidelines in chapter 4, before commencing data collection.
When you are ready to start collecting data follow the steps in the table below:
Step 1
Connecting the hardware:
Ensure battery is charged and connected to data logger. Connect the ZEB‐
HORIZON main cable to the socket on the side of ZEB‐HORIZON scanner head.
Connect the other end of the ZEB‐HORIZON cable to the REVO (orange) socket
on the ZEB‐HORIZON data logger. Position the ZEB‐HORIZON scanner on a flat
stationary surface. Ensure the scan head is free to rotate. Turn on the ZEB‐
HORIZON data logger by pressing the on/off button.
