ScanStation C10

Today’s most popular class of laser scanner - ScanStation™ - is now in a compact, all-in-one ScanStation C10 platform. It includes scanner, tilt sensor, battery, controller, data storage, auto-adjusting video camera and laser plummet. ScanStation C10 also features major productivity advances, including a new Smart X-Mirror™ that lets users conduct full-dome scans in literally just minutes using a spinning mirror.
With outstanding performance for site, exterior, and interior applications, ScanStation C10 makes High-Definition Surveying™ (HDS™) profitable for even more as-built, topographic and monitoring surveys.

The ScanStation C10 platform represents the most capabilities and best value packed into a single laser scanner instrument. Users can take advantage of surveyor-friendly, onboard total station-like control or use an external laptop for even more powerful, onsite viewing and data processing.

Unprecedented Versatility
ScanStation C10 combines all-in-one portability with the ability of users to traverse, resection or use scan targets for maximum flexibility in dealing with site logistics. Full 360º x 270º field-of-view, high accuracy, long range (300m @90% reflectivity), and high scan speed (50k pts/sec) add to ScanStation C10’s position as the industry’s most versatile scanner.

Major Productivity Advances.
ScanStation is faster than its predecessor ScanSation 2 in many ways. It does full dome scans up to 10X faster – now, less than 2 minutes for a typical room. It also conducts general 360º and focused areas scans faster, can be setup & moved faster, lets users locate targets, register & geo-reference faster, and lets users check scan results faster.

ScanStation is easy to learn, with a total station-like interface and intuitive, onboard graphic color touch screen display. It is also incrementally upgradeable over time, uses standard total station batteries, and features fewer accessories – all of this contributes to a reduced cost of ownership.

All-in-One Construction
Familiar, total station-like interfaceLeica ScanStation C10 supports standard field workflows with a rich, familiar total station interface. Easy to learn touch screen operation.

Integrated real-time streaming video with zoomFor fast, accurate selection of scene and targets to be scanned. The auto-adjusting, internal, high-resolution camera image can also be used for texture mapping of point clouds.

Smart X-Mirror™ designThe mirror automatically spins for fast 360º and full dome scans and oscillates for efficient, targeted scans. The same Smart X-Mirror automatically aligns the internal camera image for fast, accurate texture mapping of point clouds.

Compatibility with standard surveying equipmentAttach handles with Leica GPS SmartAntenna or prism holder, or use without handle for unobstructed overhead scans. A built-in laser plummet and tribrach mount provide added compatibility with standard field procedures and accessories.

Single Base and NetWork Solutions

Introduction

Welcome to the SmartFix Reference station newsletters. The newsletters are designed to better understand the feature and functions of the Real Time SmartFix Reference Station’s. Whether you are already familiar with reference stations or a relative newcomer to reference stations, the aim is that everybody will learn something from reading the news letters.

Real Time Reference Station corrections

No matter who supplies your GNSS equipment you can connect on to the SmartFix network, all that is required in a GNSS receiver capable of receiving an NTRIP (international standard) correction. For information how to connect please email info@globalsurvey.co.nz

Single Base vs Network Solution

Single Base solutions work using the same principles as the traditional Base and Rover concept. However the base is permanent and the connection is by cellular rather than radio. Single Base station corrections have a distance error component of around 1mm per km from the base station. Errors in height and position grow proportionally in relationship with distance from the base.

A Network Solution samples the corrections from a number of base stations and provides an even, consistent, high accuracy performance over the entire network region. There is no distance dependant error when working inside the network. The advantages can be seen from the in results of the test of the Waikato Network below

Recent testing of the Waikato Network Solution reported the following errors.
The nearest Base to the solution = 51km. The WORST reported spread in results where as follows, N = 0.028m, E = 0.018m, Ht = 0.043m.
With the typical spread being N= 0.015m, E = 0.015m, Ht = 0.035m.

Relative accuracy test = mean was 0.02m for position and 0.03m for ht (between known marks)

In a single Base Station solution 50Kms from the base errors would be at least in the order of 0.07m for position and 0.14m for ht.
