Introduction to Z-Expert
The Sapera
Z-Expert
utility uses an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) to facilitate
configuration and testing of the Z-Trak2 setup, and provides live display of profiles, 3D surface,
mesh, and wireframes.
Z-Expert can save data as 3D images using industry standard point cloud formats like STL, PLY,
and so forth.
Z-Expert also provides a step-by-step process to create a unified measurement space using
multiple sensors. It can configure up to 16 sensors in a variety of topologies using user-defined
alignment targets. See also chapter Multi-sensor systems.
The Z-Expert context-sensitive help (opens in a browser) is available using the F1 key from
anywhere in the interface. Please refer to it for detailed information on the use of Z-Expert, as this
chapter offers an overview of the application.
Overview of Z-Expert GUI
Z-Expert interface consists of a configuration section that allows you to select and configure your
profilers and display messages, and a display pane to show the results of acquisitions. The different
windows of the configuration section can be hidden/shown, resized, and reorganized within the
interface (pane, standalone window, etc.).
