10. MEASURING (SCANNING)
3D scanning provides 3D data of the scanning target.
To start 3D scanning, determine the scanning range, and then configure various settings related to the
scanning.
When using the data of target scanning, scan the range that includes the common targets that are placed.
• Sometimes the instrument resonates when the scanner unit rotates at a high speed. Shorten the
extension leg of the tripod in such a case.
Scanning range
There are two types of 3D scanning: range setting scanning and whole circumference scanning.
• Remove the handle when scanning around the zenith or the whole circumference.
Range setting scanning
Scan the target by setting the range as illustrated below.
To set the range, determine the left top and right bottom of the range that you want to scan by
collimating.
The built-in camera takes photographs of this range.
Whole circumference scanning
Scan the whole circumference as illustrated below:
