Frequently asked questions

Which performance specifications and features make the scanners unique?
collapse icon

Each scanner has performance capabilities to support key applications with varying speed, range and accuracy specifications.

The Trimble X7 and Trimble X9 are built on the same trusted platform, with innovative features like auto-calibration, self-leveling and a laser pointer for georeferencing. The X12 provides higher-end scan performance and unmatched image quality and integrated LED spotlights for capturing imagery even in dark environments. Check the datasheets for more information.

Which controllers and software can operate the scanners?

Trimble X7, X9 and X12 hardware can be operated with Trimble Perspective field software running on a Trimble T10x tablet or comparable Windows tablet. With Trimble X7 and Trimble X9, you can also use the Trimble Perspective Mobile app running on iOS or Android phones. Additionally, the Trimble X12 has an onboard interface and the X7 and X9 can be operated using a push button workflow.

The Trimble SX12 scanning total station can be operated with Trimble Access.

How can you save time in the office using automatic scan registration in the field?
collapse icon

One of the main advantages of choosing a Trimble scanning system is the integration with Trimble Perspective software, allowing users to easily control and operate the scanner in the field. You can view recent scans and automatically register scans to each other in the field to make sure you captured all the data you need. This in-field automatic scan registration workflow saves hours back in the office.

Which file formats can Trimble scanners export from the field?
