Automatic scan - 47
Automatic scan
Commands for automatic scanning can measure automatically profiles (horizontal, vertical or inclined)
or complete surfaces defining the measured distances among points.
Lines scan
The command Lines scan allows to perform the automatic measure, by preset distance
intervals, of a defined plane; the plane can be horizontal, vertical or inclined. The scan can
be complete (360°) or partial. The procedure is able to determine automatically the
direction changes of the surfaces and measure vertexes (edges). It’s possible at last to
change the scan interval during measuring.
Reference elevation
Before starting with the scan it’s possible to measure a point becoming the reference elevation:
1. Measure the point representing the reference elevation
2. Assign the corresponding elevation
The elevation of all next points measured will be calculated referring to the elevation of the reference
point.
Horizontal scan
1. Select the item Horizontal scan
2. Measure the starting point of the scan
3. Select the scan direction: Right, Left or FromTo; the operation FromTo allows to measure the
point where to stop the scan; in this case consider that the scan will be clockwise.
4. Set the scan distance between points
5. Press Start to start the scanning.
Vertical scan with two reference points
1. Select the item Vertical scan (2 points)
2. Measure the starting point of the scan
3. Measure the opposite point ; the two points allow di determine the vertical profile to
measure.
4. Select the scan direction: Up, Down or FromTo; the operation FromTo will perform the scan
between the two points that have determined the scan profile.
5. Set the scan distance between points
6. Press Start to start the scan.
Vertical scan with automatic calculation of the plane
1. Select the item Vertical scan (auto)
