Appendix A
Setting the Display Properties
This appendix describes how to adjust the display settings on your system in
order to view laser scans in “real-time.”
When you perform a laser scan in Scan-X, the data points are plotted in the
Profile View as the sensor moves over the part and takes height measurements.
In other words, as the sensor moves across the part, the profile of the surface
appears in the Profile View at the same rate the sensor is moving. This is
referred to as seeing the scan in “real-time.”
On-line Help: See the topic, How to Scan a Part .
If you perform a laser scan, and are unable to see the scan in “real-time,” you
may need to reduce one of the following display properties:
•
Number of displayed colors
•
Hardware Acceleration
Note: You only need to adjust the display properties if you are unable to see a
laser scan in “real-time.” Do not make any adjustments if the data is displayed in
the Profile View at the same rate the sensor is moving.
Note: Try reducing the number of displayed colors first. If you still cannot see
the scan in “real-time,” try reducing the hardware acceleration setting.
