What You Need To Know:

- V-scanner stands for "virtual scanner", and they are built into your existing scanner, with different models having between 21-200 v-scanners built-in.
- V-scanners are a set of configurations inside your scanner that save your object lists.
- These allow you to create backup copies of your scanner configurations.
- You can also create v-scanners for different locations and swap them out as you travel.
