Abstract

The invention refers to a process for scanning a gyroscopic instrument. The invention is characterised by the collection of gyroscopic data being effected by true angle scanning. In order to apply the process of the invention, a gyroscopic instrument including a gyroscopic scanning system is required in which the gyroscopic scanning system is coupled with a rotating, scanned and/or scanning unit. The process may also refer to a gyroscopic instrument including a gyroscopic scanning system in which a scanning module (such as a CCD sensor) is arranged on the side of the gyroscopic instrument as a scanning device, directly scanning horizontal and vertical true angle identifications on a gyroscopic instrument.
