At the heart of the MIDAS system is the remarkable Dolphin. This battery powered handheld laser-scanner is as rugged as it is powerful. It employs a high performance processor, shock mounted within a protective ABS/PC plastic alloy shell. All seams are gasket sealed to resist all weather conditions. The infa-red docking terminal and portable receipt printer insure precise data transfer without the use of connecting cables, which are both fragile and awkward. The 20-hour NiMH battery delivers reliable performance throughout the shift. This unit has been chosen for use in many outdoor data collection operations, including the US Postal Service.
