Appendix D: FARO Focus scanner STORMBEE helical profile settings (S-
series only)
Please also refer to section 7.2 “ Settings ” for the description of the helical mode and overview of
settings of the FARO Focus scanner STORMBEE helical profile.
D.1 Enabling the helical scan mode via the scanner’s user interface
The correct TTL helical sub mode for STORMBEE operations has to be created and enabled. Creating
and enabling this TTL helical sub mode as well as setting the scanning parameters can be done via the
scanner’s user interface.
First of all, a new scan profile with the helical mode enabled has to be created. The way of creating a
so called helical scan profile differs from the way of creating normal scan profiles. To create a helical
scan profile, go to “Manage”
→
“Service” and click on the “Command Prompt” button, then type in
the command “HelicalGrey” ( Figure D. 1 ). “HelicalGrey” a dds a helical scan profile with the TTL mode
enabled.
Figure D. 1 Creating helical scan profile via command prompt [FARO]
The new helical scan profile will be added to your profiles list and will automatically be selected as the
currently used profile: helical mode is enabled and the scanning parameters are changed accordingly.
Helical profiles can easily be recognized by their special icon. Furthermore, if the helical mode is
enabled, the helical icon is displayed in the status bar of the screen.
