Total station with scan functionality and selectable scan modi

摘要

The invention relates to a total station (1) having an electro-optical distance measuring unit (11) and a scan functionality as well as an evaluation unit for evaluating the detected Messignaldaten and transferring the same in the scanning points (36) for a point cloud, whereby the scan dots (36) having a point cloud generated is. According to the invention, the distance measuring unit (11) is configured such that the distance measurement by means of transit-time measurement and waveform Digitizing (WFD) is feasible. In addition, the total station has an at least two scanning modes providing program storage unit, wherein the at least two scan modes at least in a measuring rate, ie different scan points per unit time in the number.
