② Settings and Help¶
⑴ General Settings
- Select Language: Set the language displayed in the software.
- Preview: You can preview the scanning effect before the actual scanning when enabling the function.
- Shape Detection Optimization: Before creating a project, you can enable this function. After that, the scanning accuracy can be improved in the cross-line scan mode; however, enabling this function may affect the frame rate and make the scanned data file larger.
- Scanner Tone: Adjust the volume of the scanner's beep sound.
- Compatible with 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse: When enabled (default), it supports the connection and use of a 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse and related unique functions, including rotation axis and shortcuts.
-
Scanning Templates: The software supports exporting and saving the current scan parameter settings as a template / as templates, which can be imported for scanning the same scene. The file saving format is xxx.templ_*.
Caution
- The template file currently does not support saving the brightness parameters in the scan global markers mode .
- If the Confirm button is not clicked after setting the parameters during the meshing process, the exported template will not include the parameter settings from the meshing interface.
-
Factory Default: Click Recover to initialize all settings and the software will automatically restart.
⑵ Laser Scan Settings
- Scanning distance indication method: There are two methods to indicate the scanning distance.
During scanning, you can adjust the scanning distance based on the color indication. Here is the color code for distance adjustment:
Blue: Distance is too far.
Green: Distance is proper.
Red: Distance is too close.
