4. From the Point intensity drop-down, choose how the points are brought through when opening Z+F

files. None brings through the points set to white. Raw Intensities uses the intensities set in the file.

Color-Mapped Intensity transforms point intensity values to a spectrum of RGB colors. The Gamma

Correction Level is used to alter the gamma correction values whilst using the point intensities set in

the file. Gamma values can range between 0.0 and 1.0 are useful to correct weighting of intensity

values at the lower end of the intensity range.

5. Click OK to set these options or Cancel to exit the dialog without setting them.

7.1.18. ASCII Laser Scan Files

ASCII Laser Scan files can be read by JetStream Roamer.

Note

Most scanner software allows the user to export the point data in an ASCII text file. Providing that

the data is saved in the correct format, this data can be read by JetStream Roamer.

Supported formats for ASCII laser scan data are listed below. The data must be separated using

one of the following characters: comma, tab or space. The character used to signify a decimal

must be a point (period).

• X, Y, Z

• X, Y, Z, Intensity

• X, Y, Z, Red, Green, Blue

• X, Y, Z, Intensity, Red, Green, Blue

Intensity values are integers in the range 0-255 (Note: These will not be gamma corrected). Red,

Green and Blue values are also integers in the range 0-255.

Supported Entities

• Points.

Unsupported Entities

• No other entities are supported.
