At a pop-up stall, it is a gimmick but not a scam. It is a practical tool when used with other measurements. No good doc will take the scan done at the pop-up and use it to actually evaluate their patient. They may do a re-scan in the office (and probably have a 20 second bit on why the in office scan is more accurate if there is a noticeable difference).
The gray box is likely a Tytron scanner.
The short version explanation is that it has two temperature sensing probes that measure the skin temperature on either side of the spine. While the specific temperature of the skin is not a major factor in the evaluation, the difference between the two sides is.
Without getting super technical, significant (+/- 2º to 5ºF) differences in lateral temperature are an indicator of a problem area of the spine. It does not prescribe what adjustment may be necessary, but the magnitude of temperature difference post-adjustment should be smaller.
The scanner has two small wheels that roll along the back or neck to keep track of distance traveled (Think a mini [one of these] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01018D7MS/)) and keeps a constant scan of temperature. The difference can be graphed in a line that shows Left, Difference, Right or as shown on that pop-up display with a bar chart showing scales of difference. The larger the temperature difference, the bigger the bar.
So in short: It's a good tool to assist in confirming an evaluation but it is not a specific diagnostic tool. It also happens to be a good non-invasive marketing tool.
It looks a little bit like a surveyor's measuring wheel. But I'm not sure why the second handle.
