RIEGL VUX-1Key Features• 	IMU/GNSS unit, fully integrated to support RIEGL VZ-400i and VZ-2000i
scanners for mobile (kinematic) data acquisition• Easy coupling and de-coupling of the VZ scanner from the IMU/GNSS unit
• Quick change from mobile to terrestrial applications, and vice versa,
without losing the stability of the system calibration• Flexible installation options - vertical and horizontal setup• Frame based roof-mount compatible with standard roof bars
• Image data acquisition with a calibrated and GPS synchronized NIKON® DSLR camera• Additional panoramic camera systems such as FLIR Ladybug®5+ are available• Single power supply for the VZ scanner and the IMU/GNSS unit from astandard car battery• Easy system operation with single laptop running RiACQUIRE(additional camera may need an additional laptop)

vertical scanner setup with additional
panoramic camera system

Seamless RIEGL workflow for MLS data acquisition, processing and adjustment isprovided by RIEGL’s proven software suite.
NIKON® DSLR camera for mobile
and terrestrial applications

Scanning Modes• VMZ 2D line scan mode at user-defined horizontal rotation of the scanning headfor efficient side scanning with 100 deg field of view
• VMZ 3D mode with continuous rotation of the scanning headfor 360 deg overview scanning• 360 deg static scanning while vehicle is stationary to acquire high density scans• Horizontal setup for dedicated road surface scanning with 100 deg field of viewhorizontal setup for, e.g. road surface scans

1) The
listed scanner performance provides an overview of VZ-400i and VZ-2000i.
Further details are provided in the data sheets of VZ-400i and VZ-2000i.
2) Class 1 laser product according to IEC 60825-1:2014
3) T ypical values for average conditions. Maximum range is specified for flat targets with size inexcess of the laser beam diameter, perpendicular angle of incidence, and for atmosphericvisibility of 23 km. In bright sunlight, the max. range is shorter than under an overcast sky.

4) In long range mode (lowest pulse repetition rate).
5) Accuracy is the degree of conformity of a measured quantity to its actual (true) value.
6) Precision, also called reproducibility or repeatability, is the degree to which furthermeasurements show the same result.
7) O ne sigma @ 100 m range under RIEGL test conditions.
8) One sigma values, no GNSS outage, with DMI option, post-processed using base station data.
