Using our phase-shift scanners (Trimble FX), a shot, a "station" or a "scan" will generally take between 5 and 10 minutes, depending upon the grid size (resolution) selected.
Using the time-of-flight scanner (Trimble GS200), the time taken to record a shot will generally range from 20 minutes to 2 hours...

A number of shots will be required to complete a project. An installation can be surveyed by the simultaneous use of a number of scanners, thereby reducing the overall time spent on site.
