High accuracy surveying can be achieved using this cost-effective system, according to the firm. The package comprises the Leica Viva TS12 Total Station, the Viva CS10 Controller and the easy-to-use SmartWorx Viva Onboard Software. The Viva TS12 can be used to find, lock and measure points to prisms with accuracy. The PowerSearch sensor is said to locate any prism type within seconds, regardless of location. The Viva CS10 is said to be ergonomic in design and light in weight, allowing long range, secure and fast wireless connectivity to the Viva TS12. Meanwhile the SmartWorx Viva LT is designed using clear graphics, non-technical terminology and simplified workflows and is said to allow users to complete surveying tasks within a minimum of time.
