Preparing to Scan
File name
Enter the desired file name. The file type ending is added auto-
matically.
Path
Create a subdirectory. Only one subdirectory can be created.
If no subdirectory is created the scanning data is saved directly
into main directory.
Project
As soon as several scans of an object have been created, you will
find a file management system very helpful. Some functions of
the software are indispensable when working with projects, for
example for registering scans.
All individual items of scan data in the project are administered
in an XML file.
Choose a name for the project before you carry out the first
scan. Each subsequent scan is assigned to the created project
and saved in the project.
Scanner position
Every scan is assigned a viewpoint (location of the HDS6000). If
more than one scan is carried out from a single viewpoint then
they are all assigned the same viewpoint. As the transformation
equation is the same for a common viewpoint this is very impor-
tant for later registration.
Select a name for the viewpoint before you carry out the first
scan.
Operator
Enter the name of the operator.
Comment
Enter additional project information (e.g. first floor, NW corner).
Resolution
Selection of scan profile and measurement noise.
