The resulting Scan Duration, vertical and horizontal scan points (Scan Size
[Pt]), as well as the resulting scan size in megapoints (MPts) will be displayed
in the middle of the view. Point Distance [mm/10m] / [in/30ft] is the distance
between the captured scan points in mm (in) in a scan distance of 10 meters
(30 ft).

start angle, then you should neither switch off the scanner nor change the
quality between the recordings of these scans.
