8.2.5.2

Setting the 

DetectionThreshold

 parameter

Workflow step: 

Data collection

Prerequisites: Focus and exposure time have been adjusted for best image quality.

1.

Turn the laser off.

2.

Click 

Start

 to start the collection of 3D image data.

✓

Since the laser is turned off, only noise will be visible in the image.

3.

Open the 

Parameter editor

 and select the 

Scan3dControl

 category.

4.

Take a snapshot of the 3D image and adjust the 

DetectionThreshold

 parameter in

the following way:

°

If there is much noise in the image, increase the 

DetectionThreshold

 value.

°

If there is no noise in the image, decrease the 

DetectionThreshold

 value.

5.

Repeat the previous step until 

DetectionThreshold

 has a low value without excessive

visible noise.

6.

Turn the laser on.

8.2.5.3

Setting sensor region

Workflow step: 

Image

To adjust the height and position of the sensor region that is used to generate the 3D
image data (Region1, 

see "Extraction regions", page 25

), follow the steps below.

NOTE

For best image quality, make sure that the whole width of the laser line is within the
region.

NOTE

The values of the 

Height

 and 

OffsetY

 parameters must be multiples of 4.

The value of the 

OffsetX

 parameter must be a multiple of 8.

The value of the 

Width

 parameter must be a multiple of 16.

1.

In the 

Parameter editor

, go to the 

ImageFormatControl

 category and set 

RegionSelector

to Region1.

2.

Select the 

3D extraction area

 check box in the upper right part of the GUI.

✓

A blue region corresponding to 

Region1

 appears in the 2D image.
