Circumferential pitch
This sets the angle of adjacent scanning points or the number of scanning points on the circumference.
Height-direction pitch
This sets the distance between scan points.
A narrower scan pitch results in scanning of greater precision, but the scan time also becomes
correspondingly longer. Conversely, a wider scan pitch yields shorter scan times, but scanning results are
rougher.
Required memory
This calculates the amount of memory that the program uses during scanning, based on the number of
scanning points.
The actual required amount of memory is not determined solely by the number of scanning points, so this
value is not necessarily accurate. Please consider it a rough estimate.
Estimated Scan Time
This estimates the scanning time based on the scanning parameters that have been set.
This performs complex calculations based on such factors as the number and locations of the scanning
point and the scanning speed of the 3D scanner, yielding a rough calculation of the scanning time.
To recalculate the estimated time after changing the scanning parameters, click
.
Scan
This starts scanning on the 3D scanner.
Rescan
This lets you specify a portion of a scanned object that you want to rescan, then rescan it with changed
conditions. After the previous scanning, continue with rescanning without removing the scan object from the
scanner.
This is available only for objects that have been rotary scanned.
To redo a portion whose shape is different from the scan object, click
.
To make a partial change in scanning pitch, click
.
You can specify a number of areas, but you can't set different scanning pitches for individual areas. The
selection can be canceled by clicking the right button.
Running this command opens the [Select Scanning Area Mode] dialog box.
Selecting a scanning area narrower than three times the scanning pitch results in an error message.
