Page 4: Safety Warning
GVI LiPod 3D laser scanner is a high-precision instrument, please take extra care when using, avoid collision and strong vibration. When transporting equipment, ensure that all items are properly placed in the protective box. Do not transport or move any equipment that is not in the protected state.
Page 5: Introduction
2. Introduction LiPod 3D laser scanner is ground-station LiDAR 3D scanning system with the function of collecting high-precision point cloud and panoramic images. It can automatically calculate and obtain high-precision true color point cloud data in real time. It can also obtain highly-precise georeferenced point cloud data. It can be widely used in indoor and outdoor integrated measurement, underground space information acquisition, tunnel engineering, factory digitalization, mine digitalization, forestry resource surveying, BIM and other fields.

4. Workflow Please follow this guide to ensure the proper functioning of the device. 4.1 Preparation for Data Acquisition 4.1.1 Set up the equipment 1.Set up tripod: turn the locking clamp of the tripod clockwise to extend each carbon fiber leg, and then lock each clamp by screwing counter- clockwise.
Page 9 Install Battery Compartment 4.As shown in the figure, insert the battery into the battery compartment and you should hear a 'click', indicating that the battery is firmly inserted. Insert the battery 5.When trying to connect the battery with the equipment, the red dot on the connector of the cable should be aligned with the red dot on the receiver as well as the battery compartment.
Page 10 LEMO Connection 4.1.2 Set Target Spheres If the acquisition environments are lacking for distinctive features or are not obvious, it would be necessary to place target spheres before collecting data to ensure multi-platform data stitching. Note: At least 3 target spheres shall be placed between two adjacent stations. Do not place them on the same line, and avoid obstacles between the scanner and the target sphere.

Page 12: Data Acquisition
There are two modes:hardware/web to acquire the data： Hardware control：Press and hold the green wave button on the LiPod Lite device for about 2 seconds. When the button starts to flash, it means that data collection is started. The data collection status can be monitored in real time on the web;...

Page 14 Recording Stopping It is normal that 94% of the state of the data record will last 40s to 1min. The point cloud is being colored by the device. Data acquisition with the button, the light will flash when capturing data and the light will display steady on when the acquisition is complete.
Page 15: Data Export
Open the “share” folder(s) and find the corresponding true-color point cloud data “*.e57” file in accordance with the acquisition date and time. Copy the share folder(s) from Lipod’s internal storage to a target directory located on the connected computer. “*.e57” file is named as the time of data acquisition -data acquisition mode（slow/fast）. The data changed is the end time of data acquisition.
Page 16 Transfer data via Wifi: Connect the external computer/tablet to Lipod via Wifi. Launch Windows File Explorer, and enter \\192.168.1.200 to see Projects saved to the Lipod’s internal storage. The other steps are the same as above. Data transfer via Ethernet Network Cable is faster than using Wifi connections. The first time you enter the “share” folder，please input the username and password：“username：share，password：111111”。...
Page 17 Data is transfering After the data copy is completed, "copy complete" will be displayed at the top of the interface, and you can remove the USB flash disk at this time. copy complete Note: Do not connect the USB flash drive before the device is powered on. You must insert the USB flash drive after the device is powered on for data copy.
