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

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

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?
