7.2.3 Surface Mode
Line to line
This value defines the minimum distance between two scan lines. The minimum distance
prevents the acquisition of too dense data if the scanner is moved very slowly or not at all. The
software checks if the scanner moved more than the entered Line to line value. If it did not,
the current scan line is rejected.
The absolute distance between the scanner positions is calculated, i.e. spatial movement in the
scan line direction also increases the distance. Only the distance to the previous scan line is
calculated. If the scanner is repeatedly moved over the same point, data is acquired with each
new movement.
Point to point
This value determines the average point distance on the scan line. It refers to the center of the
scanner’s measurement range and changes with increasing or decreasing distance to the
object. The value can only be changed in 0.075 mm steps.
Raster size
If the
Use point distance
radio button is selected, the raster width is set according to the point
to point distance.
If you want to use a different raster width, select
Define value
and specify the raster width.
Bear in mind that a raster width of less than 0.1 mm will dramatically increase the amount of
data generated.
