Bounded Elevation Scanning
— In bounded elevation scanning mode, the operator is able to
define a scan that covers a full 360° in azimuth but is restricted to a region of the elevation
range of the RE08. Again the azimuth rate is configurable as is the line density of the scan. This
mode enables the operator to concentrate the focus of the RE08 Scanner to a desired region and
at the same time have complete control over the density of the samples taken in that region.
Region Scanning
— The region scanning mode allows the operator to define a region within the
RE08’s azimuth and elevation range in which to concentrate the range scanning. The region
scan mode gives the most control over the attention of the scanner with settings for azimuth
rate and number of lines as in the bounded elevation scan as well as the extent of the scan
region relative to its top left hand corner where it will scan repeatedly until a different scan is
commanded.
The RE08 3D Laser Scanning System is also able to reconfigure or swap between any of
these scanning modes immediately, making dynamic control of the scanner behavior
easy. Further details about the scanning behaviors are covered in Chapter 5.

Electrical
The RE08 System requires a 24 Volt DC power supply that has a continuous current
capacity of 10 Amps. The output voltage of the 24 VDC power supply used with the
RE08 System should not vary by more than ±15% from the nominal 24V under any
circumstances otherwise damage to the RE08 System may result.
