Preparing for Your First Scan
Perform the following before you scan for the first time using the F5-B 3D
Scanner. These steps are typically required only once or as-needed in order to
make changes.
►
To prepare for your first scan:
1
Install the KaplaVision application on your workstation (PC, laptop or tablet),
as described in Appendix A, Installing KaplaVision on page 113.
2
Configure the KaplaVision decoding process using the Configuration button
in the toolbar, as described on page 51.
NOTE
The F5-B Scanner is provided pre-calibrated. Typically, there is no need to calibrate it
again unless you notice that KaplaVision has produced a few bad point clouds (meaning
when point clouds that do not properly represent the shape of the scanned
object/environment are produced).
To calibrate the F5-B Scanner, click the Calibration button
at the top right of
the KaplaVision window and follow the simple displayed instructions.
You may refer to Appendix B, Calibrating the F5-B Scanner on page 117 for calibration
instructions.
Disassembling After Scanning
In order to ensure the integrity and proper operation of the Imager, we highly
recommend putting it properly back into the suitcase after you have finished
scanning.
