Hardware Specifications

Both scanners have an ergonomic design, with the S200 being lighter than Aoralscan 3. When you look at the setup, Shining comes with a pretty big calibration tool that takes up to 5 minutes for calibration, in addition to the attached cable with a separate power box, making the setup messy with a lot of cables, and increases the probability of hardware issues. As opposed to Atomica which has auto calibration, and comes with a single 1.8M detachable usb cable, which ultimately provides a more neat setup and reduces the chance of hardware issues.
