Figure 5. (Left) X, Y and Z axes in relation to the profiler plane of light (in purple). (Right) Each captured
profile, depicted as a white line in the XZ-plane, outputs Z (height) values. A scan captures a sequence of
profiles; the output forms a range map.
The Z-Trak2 data output mainly consists of the height value for every point of a scan. But other
information can also be captured, such as reflectance. See section 3D Data Type output format
description for details on data output formats.
