The scan preview shows a grayscale picture of the captured scan to verify the scan itself and to
check if all objects (e.g. targets) are clearly visible. This preview does not show color.
Parameters button – Change the scanning parameters for the next scans.
Start Scan button – Starts the next scan.
Delete button – deletes the viewed scan file.
Use the Left and Right arrow buttons to browse through already captured scans.
Use the Plus and Minus buttons to zoom in or out.
The Reset Zoom button is only visible when you zoom into the scan picture. With this button
the scan picture can be zoomed back to its original size. When zoomed in you can move the
zoomed picture by dragging it with your fingers in any direction.
The Inclination Warning button is only visible when the current inclination of the scanner is
above 5°. To get reliable measurements from the built-in dual axis compensator you should set up
the scanner with an inclination less than 5° before starting your next scan. For this, you may use
either a bubble inclinometer at the tripod or the inclinometer screen. Click this button to get to the
inclinometer screen. For more information, see Inclinometer (Dual Axis Compensator), page 90.
