This allows you to switch the display of data while scanning on or off, select a file format, switch the beep when
scanning ends on or off, and select a communication port.
Running this command makes the [Preferences] dialog box appear.
[Preferences] dialog box
Show data during scanning
This constantly updates the on-screen image of the object as it is being scanned.
When this is off, the scanned object isn't shown until after scanning has finished. To minimize memory use
during scanning, turn off this setting.
Simple display
This displays a simplified image of the object while scanning is in progress.
Select this when it's not necessary to display the shape of the object in detail while scanning is in progress, or
when you want to monitor scanning progress. This command is enabled when "Show data during scanning" is
on.
Use triangular planes
When this is selected, the shape of the object's planes changes from quadrilaterals to triangles.
Disable data not on pitch
When you are using a 3D scanner with automatic correction, then depending on the shape of the scan object,
points that lie between the scanning pitch may be scanned.
When this setting is on, points scanned because of such correction are ignored. Unless a special requirement
exists, this should normally be left off.
