Claim 8:
9. The 3D measuring device of claim 1, wherein the 3D scanner comprises a first light source, a first beam steering unit, a first angle measuring device, a second angle measuring device, and a first light receiver, the first light source operable to emit a first beam of light, the first beam steering unit operable to steer the first beam of light to a first direction onto a first object point, the first direction determined by a first angle of rotation about a first axis and a second angle of rotation about a second axis, the first angle measuring device operable to measure the first angle of rotation and the second angle measuring device operable to measure the second angle of rotation, the first light receiver operable to receive first reflected light, the first reflected light being a portion of the first beam of light reflected by the first object point, the first light receiver operable to produce a first electrical signal in response to the first reflected light, the first light receiver operable to cooperate with the processor system to determine a first distance to the first object point based at least in part on the first electrical signal, the 3D scanner operable to cooperate with the processor system to determine 3D coordinates of the first object point based at least in part on the first distance, the first angle of rotation and the second angle of rotation.
