I'd think that this means the same thing as if someone told you to go
to a job site and "scope out" the job. Meaning,  go take a look and see
what needs to be done. You wouldn't take a "job scope" to do this and
neither would you need a "PIR scope" to see if a motion detector would
work in any given area.
