Preface
This user manual was created by Joseph Sadlier,
Ruth Nugent and Gerard McKenna for the Problem
Based Learning (SSPL4004) module in October
2015.
The manual was created to assist a beginner with
the ScanStation2 to competently operate a range of
functions during a field survey.
Any difficulties encountered with the Cyclone 9.0
software were successfully overcome.
