    • General Settings

      • Select Language: Set the language displayed in the software.
      • Warm Up: After enabling, the scanning device accuracy becomes more stable after warm-up. Requires software restart to take effect.
      • Calibration and Scan Temperature Difference: Adjustment range 1℃ to 10℃.
      • 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.

      • Graphics Card Compatibility Mode: After enabling, improves compatibility with some versions of NVIDIA graphics card drivers, but may cause scanning frame rate loss.

      • IP Configurator: When the device cannot be used normally due to the network IP issue, you can open the IP Configurator and select the correct NIC Name (Ethernet or WLAN).

      • Factory Default: Click Recover to initialize all settings and the software will automatically restart.

    • Laser Scan Settings

      • Display Calibration Error: After enabling, the calibration completion pop-up interface displays the calibration error.

      • 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.
