SpatialAnalyzer (SA) supports a wide range of portable metrology instruments. The following Instrument guides are not intended to replace the recommendations of the hardware manufacturer in anyway. It is intended as a bridge to provide insights and facilitate accessing and utilizing to existing hardware capability from within SA. It should be considered a guide to SA’s integration and control over hardware capabilities.
Support Instrument categories include:
Laser Trackers - Which use a laser to track a reflective target such as a corner cube reflector.
Precision Scanners - Which can directly scan a surface with high precision
Theodolites and Total Stations - Includes a range of industrial instruments that offer angular and distance measurement capabilities.
PCMM Arms - Which utilize precision measurement of joint angles to define a probe tip position.
Photogrammetry Systems - which use image processing to map positions in space.
Handheld Scanners - which combine a scanner and position system.
Room Scanners - Which can scan large areas at one time.
Laser Projectors - Which offer laser guidance for measurement and part assembly.
SA also supports custom instrument integration through its Instrument SDK capabilities.
