Sensor Calibration
This tool is used to verify and optimize sensor calibration.
Figure 2.24 - Sensor calibration
To complete the optimization process, follow this procedure:
Press the Acquire button to activate the sensor
Lay the calibration plate on a stable plane surface. Position the scanner at
approximately 10 cm (4 in) from the calibration plate
Use the Preview button on the ZScanner 700 to position the laser cross in the
white cross of the calibration plate
Press the trigger and move the scanner slowly away from the plate to an
approximate distance of 60 cm (24 in) or until the 10 measurements are taken.
Make sure that the laser’s cross-hair stays in the white cross of the calibration
plate.
Follow recommendations displayed in the Sensor Diagnostic area.
In ZScan 1.3, more information is available in that window. It is now possible
to see your factory calibration date as well as last optimization date. Please note
that to be able to see your factory calibration date; your scanner must have been
calibrated after the ZScan 1.3 release date.
TIP: Press the Default button to reset the sensor calibration to its
factory settings. Use this functionality only if the optimization
process fails to give valid results.
