Troubleshooting 

When the scan core or the laser power works abnormally, the scan core will enter 
protection mode. This state can be retrieved by using SDK API. If such scenario 
happened, please send restart command 

 to reset the scan core. 

Motor Speed Adjustment 

During the running process, different motor rotating speed can be achieved by 
pressing the 

 button. There will be a speed adjustment dialog box popped up 

for  users  to  enter  required  speed.  After  clicking  set,  the  motor  will work  as  the 
settled rotating speed automatically. User can also drag the progress bar to the 
required rotating speed. 

The  current  rotating  speed  will  show  in  rea  time  in  the  Framegrabber  main 
dialogue box.
