Scan Review and Changing the Field
Important Note:
You
cannot
change the field or repowder when you are in Scan Review
mode. That will distort your current scan. If changes to the field are required, you must accept
or delete the current scan first, before you make changes to the field. Then continue scanning.
Here’s an easy way to remember this rule:
If the wand is flashing, you cannot change the
field in any way.
Continue Scanning and Merging Scanning
To
continue
a scan means to return to scanning after you have pressed the Start/Stop button.
Typically this is done to capture more coverage, fill holes in a scan, or complete the scan
path.
M
erging
scans is the combination of two or more separate scans by the Lava C.O.S. The
system merges scans automatically.
Continue Scanning
In this example, after an initial scan is stopped (with the Start/Stop button), a hole becomes
apparent when the scan is rotated.
