Datasheet

Best-in-class Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM)

With PinPoint EDM, Viva TPS delivers the optimal balance of
range, accuracy, reliability, beam visibility, laser dot size and
measurement time.

1 mm + 1.5 ppm to prism n
2 mm + 2 ppm to any surface n
1000 m range without a prism n

Best-in-class One-Person-Surveying

Viva TPS uses years of experience to optimally combine the
world’s best total station sensors: angles, distances, drives and
the patented PowerSearch target recognition camera.

Search n – the unique PowerSearch finds your prism within seconds
Lock n – Viva TPS stays locked onto your prism in the most

demanding environments

Measure n – PinPoint EDM seamlessly harmonizes with precise angle

sensors to complete the measurement process

Leica Viva GNSS Add-on

Add full GNSS functionality to your Viva TPS whenever you want
and combine TPS and GNSS in the most efficient way.

Use SmartStation for TPS setup without the need of control points, n
traverses and resections
Use SmartPole to save time with setup ‘On-the-fly’ and measure n
parallel with TPS and GNSS for double productivity

Measurement precision and accuracy in position and accuracy in height are dependent upon various factors including number of

satellites, geometry, observation time, ephemeris accuracy, ionospheric conditions, multipath etc. Figures quoted assume normal
to favorable conditions. Times can also not be quoted exactly. Times required are dependent upon various factors including
number of satellites, geometry, ionospheric conditions, multipath etc. The following accuracies, given as root mean square,
are based on real-time measurements.

When used within reference station networks the position accuracy is in accordance with the accuracy specifications provided by

the reference station network.

Whether you want to stake-out an object on a construction site or you
need accurate measurements of a tunnel or a bridge; whether you
want to determine the area of a parcel of land or need the position of
a power pole or to capture objects for as-built maps – you need
reliable and precise data.

Leica Viva combines a wide range of innovative products designed to
meet the daily challenges for all positioning tasks. The simple yet
powerful and versatile Leica Viva hardware and software innovations
are redefining state-of-the-art technology to deliver maximum perfor­mance and productivity. Leica Viva gives you the inspiration to make
your ambitious visions come true.

When it has to be right.
