User training
New users of our GNSS equipment are required to be trained by Facility staff. Training usually takes place during a one day visit to the GEF offices. Previous users are encouraged to attend for refresher training.
Successful applicants will be invited to contact the Facility to arrange a suitable training date, usually close to the start of the project.
Training is free of charge, however applicants will be responsible for making their own way to the Facility.
Frequently asked questions
What is the practical range of the system?
The range will depend on the material being imaged and its orientation to the scanner. Assuming a matte surface with a footprint larger than the laser beam and clear atmospheric conditions, a range of approximately 150m could be expected, reducing to 120m at a high scan speed.
