Prior to scanning, be sure to follow all the recommended preliminary steps in Chapter 2
to ensure a successful scan session.
Caution:
It is highly recommended to execute a short test scan
prior to embarking on a large or lengthy scan session. This includes
completing all the steps in Chapter 2 Before You Begin Mapping, as
well as performing all actions in this chapter, Basic Scanning.
Starting and stopping a scan can be actuated directly from the scanner itself via the
Scan
button or directly from the controller using the corresponding
Scan
button. If utilizing the
iPad as a monitor during scanning, you can also actuate a new scan from the Stencil Pro
UI. All three options will be described.
B E G I N A N E W S C A N
You can initiate scanning in one of three ways - by pushing the scanner’s
Scan
button
once, by pushing the controller’s
Scan
button once, or by pushing the
Start Scan
button
in the top right corner of the Stencil Pro UI Main Gallery (Figure 22). If scanning by the
former two methods (via the scanner’s or controller’s
Scan
button), Stencil Pro will begin
to collect data immediately, using the color adjustment settings from the previous scan.
Wait until the
Scan
button indicator turns green or teal and begins to blink before you
begin moving to collect data.
