The Fix1 automatically generates a volume from collected data without any intervention from the end-user. No

manual viewing, analysis of the data is necessary. However, there may be circumstances when it s desirable to

view the point cloud: for example investigating unusual results, troubleshooting the FiX1 or occasional auditing of

results.

The point clouds can be downloaded from the FiX1, but the data can also be viewed online without downloading

any data. The point cloud viewer is hosted on the FiX1 and viewed in your web browser. No external software is

required.
