    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 and the photogrammetry mode.
    • If the Comfirm 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.

    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: It indicates that the scanning distance is too far.
    Green: It indicates that the distance is proper.
    Red: It indicates that the scanning distance is too close.
    By observing the color of the laser line or distance bar, you can make adjustments to ensure the scanning distance is appropriate.
