② Settings and Help

Click to show or hide the Device Information Card.

⑴ General

• Warm Up: After enabling, scanner accuracy becomes more stable after warm-up. Restart the software for the setting to take effect.

• Calibration and Scan Temperature Difference: Adjustment range 1℃ to 10℃.

• Scanner Tone: Enabled by default. You can adjust the scanner beep volume as needed.

• Compatible with 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse: Enabled by default. It supports 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse connection and related functions, including rotation axis and shortcuts.

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

• Laser Plane Calibration: Recommended when excessive noise occurs or data cannot be scanned. After enabling, perform calibration in the calibration workflow.

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

⑵ Laser Scan Settings

• Preview: When enabled, you can preview the scanning effect before scanning.

• Scanning Distance Indication Method: The indication methods include laser line indication and distance bar indication. During scanning, adjust the scanning distance based on the laser line or distance bar color.
  Blue indicates that the scanning distance is too far, green indicates a proper distance, and red indicates that the scanning distance is too close.

Scanning Distance Indicator

• Laser Turns off Intelligently: Enabled by default. If no data is recognized during scanning, the scanner will not project laser lines.

• Shape Detection Optimization: Before creating a project, you can enable this function. After enabling it in cross-line mode, scanning accuracy can be improved. However, this function may affect the frame rate and increase the scanned data file size.

• Minimum Number of Marker Splices: Default is 4. Using only 3 markers may create similar triangles that can lead to incorrect alignment.

• Large Depth of Field Mode: When enabled, increases the maximum scanning distance to 1300 mm and adjusts the optimal distance display on the distance indicator. Data cannot be captured beyond the supported range.

  Caution

  • This mode is unavailable when the point distance is less than 0.2 mm.
  • This mode applies to cross lines and parallel lines.

• Local Resolution Circle: Select the scanning area size in Local Resolution mode.

• Auto-Create Clipping Plane: Use magnetic coded targets to automatically create clipping planes during scanning.

  Caution

  • Clipping planes created from coded targets will not disappear after the original coded targets are removed.
  • Once six clipping planes exist, coded targets will no longer be recognized to create a new clipping plane.

⑶ Third-Party Software

You can check the third-party software to be called up and select the calling path. Only the selected third-party software will be displayed in the third-party software list in the Post-Processing and Measurement interfaces.
