A folding first-pass instrument for the crew that has one daylight window, finite cells, and too much ground to inspect properly. Optical, spectral, distance, and environmental channels share a level reference and one clean hood. It tells you where to spend the expensive lab time; it does not become a laboratory because sales wants a larger adjective. The raw bundles are fat with location data and worth stealing before a claim is filed. A used Praxis scanner is priced by its latest calibration certificate. Without one, the readings are opinions wearing numbers.
buyer Problem: Survey crews need to triage a site before batteries, weather, or a rival claim closes the window.; carried Load Mode: FULL; channels: optical, spectral, distance, environmental; compatibility: Exports standard Praxis raw survey bundles; trustworthy new profiles require a known sample and relevant scientific validation.; failure Consequence: A bad scan can return a plausible wrong match, sending the crew toward worthless ground or away from a hazard.; logistical Burden: Eight-to-twelve-hour cell life, large location-rich data sets, certificate tracking, and insurer rejection of uncertified surveys.; maintenance Reality: Clean the sensor hood, establish a level reference, and bench-check after hard use; routine calibration is due every 90 days.; mass Kg: 3.8; measurement Status: ESTIMATED; power Endurance Hours: 12; reference Spectra: 5000; scan Area: one-yard patch; scan Time Seconds: 10; signature Capability: Combines four survey channels and 5,000 reference spectra in one folding field unit.; tradeoff: Mixed or painted surfaces confuse it, and laboratory-grade identification remains outside its honest capability.; volume Liters: 9.5
Certified claim surveys require a current calibration record.
