So pacing is something that is done to people. Is pacing the taking of a census or survey?

Pacing is done to people and another person does the pacing. It is not a survey, but you should hope that you see the person who is pacing you quickly.

No it isn't sorry. This particular pacing isn't highly technical at all. It is still used but there are more modern devices that have replaced it. The person doing the pacing wears a uniform but not medical garb or a lab coat.

Is it setting the pace of some physical activity? Pacing laps around the tack or cadence?
