. . ., give you access to several options
pertaining to the Scan Data and Interface .
Scan Data
•
Geometry Resolution
- move the slider from low to high to adjust the resolution of the scanned image . The higher values will
consume more processing power and memory, and may cause delays in the scanning process .
•
Scan Volume
- this parameter controls the size of the area (cubic volume) that will be scanned if a specific object is not being
tracked .
•
Brightness Correction
- toggle automatic brightness correction on or off .
•

Interface
•
Countdown

•
Prompt for Image Capture
- this prompt appears when scanning an object . Every 30 degrees, the application will prompt you to
pause your motion so that the object resolution will be optimally captured . Toggle this setting to show or hide the prompt .
SENSE TRACK ASSIST
When an object has relatively uniform geometric features, such as a cylinder or sphere, the lack of unique geometry can cause the
camera to lose tracking .
In these cases, we have provided a document with printable images and instructions that will assist you in obtaining the best possible
scan results . You can access the
Sense Track Assist
document from the Help Menu .
