5.3 Indicating Laser Activity
Each scanning head is equipped with a LASER L
ED
which indicates the
activity of the laser. The LASER L
ED
is on the back of the scanning head. The
LASER L
ED
is lit when the laser is switched on (key switch on the front of the
front-end in position I). The LASER L
ED
is lit regardless of whether the beam
shutter is open or closed. The LASER L
ED
remain lit if the laser is switched off
using the software, as this function only interrupts the emission of the laser
beam from the scanning head.
5.4 Setting up the Scanning Head
Fluid head If the system is equipped with a light duty tripod with fluid head, you can
manually set up the scanning head using the three hand-grips as described in
the assembly instruction provided by the manufacturer MANFROTTO.
