RIEGL's unique V-Line technology is based on echo digitization and online waveform processing and is the key to enable such extreme long range measurements. The VZ-4000 operates even in poor visibility and demanding multi target situations caused by dust, haze, rain, snow, etc. which are frequently found in difficult environments such as mine sites.

Modes of Operation

  • Stand-alone operation with integrated RiTouch software and 7” touchscreen
  • Remote control via web interface with any standard tablet PC or mobile device via WiFi
  • Remote operation with RiSCAN PRO on a notebook via LAN or WiFi connection
  • Customized operation by third party tools/applications based on RIEGL's well documented interfaces and scanner libraries, e.g. RiVLib

1 With Online Waveform processing - Rounded Values 
2 With Online Waveform processing - Rounded Values 
3 With Online Waveform processing - Typical values for average conditions. Maximum range is specified for flat targets with size in excess of the laser beam diameter, perpendicular angle of incidence, and for atmospheric visibility in excess of 23 km. In bright sunlight, the operational range is considerably shorter than under an overcast sky.

In bright sunlight, the operational range is considerably shorter than under an overcast sky.
5 With Online Waveform processing - Accuracy is the degree of conformity of a measured quantity to its actual (true) value.
One sigma @ 150 m range under RIEGL test conditions
6 With Online Waveform processing - Precision, is also called reproducibility, or repeatability, is the degree to which further measurements show the same result.
