On-Site Compensation Best Practices
l
Use a room without moving objects or the presence of other people.
l
Place the scanner in the center of the room and extend the first sections (with biggest diameter) on all
3 legs of the tripod.
l
Make sure the tripod is placed on a stable, flat surface. The tripod must not move during scanning.
l
Make sure the tripod is fully opened and stable and the center column is not extended.
l
Level the scanner (check the inclinometer).
l
For best performance of the Focus scanner, perform multiple OSC in different temperature conditions
of the scanner. This can be achieved to run multiple OSC starting with a cold scanner (new started
scanner) and repeat multiple OSC for about 30 minutes.
OSCdetects natural features such as door frames, pictures or other objects from the laser intensity data
captured during the scan. It required that the detected natural features are well-distributed within the
room.
