Riegl Laser Distance Meter

The Riegl Laser Distance Meter is a ground-based lidar system manufactured by Riegl Laser Measurement Systems. It is a multi-purpose lidar system based on precise time-of-flight laser range measurements. It is used for accurate distance measurements for multi-target situations, such as measuring wave height. The Riegl Laser Distance Meter operates in the near-infrared (~0.9 μm) and has a measurement range up to 1300 meters, depending on the operating mode. It has a measurement rate of up to 2000 Hz and can detect a maximum number of targets of about 3 to 4.
