Its new processing architecture enables execution of different background tasks (such as point cloud registration, geo-referencing, orientation via integrated Inertial Measurement Unit, etc.) on-board in parallel to the acquisition of scan data. A full documentation of the scanner's software components - directly accessible on the RIEGL VZ-2000i - provides a sound basis for creation of your own Python apps to enhance the scanner functionality. The system provides highest flexibility by supporting numerous peripherals and asccessories such as the integrated GNSS unit for high accurate RTK solution, a SIM Card slot for 3G/4G LET, WLAN, LAN, USA, and different other ports of external units.

RIEGL's unique Waveform-LiDAR technology is the key to enabling such high speed, long range, high accuracy measurements even in poor visibitiliy and demanding multi-target situations caused by dust, haze, rain, vegetation, etc.
