10. MEASURING (SCANNING)

There are two types of scanning: target scanning that only measures the target, and 3D scanning that obtains 3D data.

Scanned data will be saved in the Station folder in the SD card.

Target scanning

Perform target scanning to measure the target placed within the range of 3D scanning. This target scanning data is used to align 3D scanning data from multiple instrument points by postprocessing. Target scanning provides the coordinate data on which the target is centered.

3D scanning

Perform 3D scanning to obtain the 3D data. First, determine the scanning range, and then set parameters for the resolution of scanning.



• The name of the folder will be the same as that of the station which has been set.

10. MEASURING (SCANNING)

Target scanning must be performed to align the positional information of multiple 3D scanning data to perform post-processing of data.

Thus, the target must be placed in a position that can be seen from the position of the next station. To measure the object, place the target near the scanning target or stick the target directly on the scanning target.



• Only the prism or the target sheet for Topcon's GLS-2000/1500 can be used as the target.

• To align the positional information of the data, at least three sets of common target scanned data are

required. Place the target on three or more positions that can be collimated from each station.

• 3D data cannot be obtained from the positions where the target sheet is stuck. Avoid sticking the sheet

on an important scanning position.

• Do not stick the target sheet in a straight line. Secure a wide range for 3D scanning to stick target sheets

evenly.

• The target sheet used varies depending on the scanning distance. (
