Helical scan mode (option)
10.3.1
Introduction
The helical scan mode is an optional operation mode of the FARO Laser
Scanner Photon. Please contact FARO customer service or sales to get
information about how to purchase this optional feature.
The helical scan mode has the following behavior:
•
No horizontal turning of the scanner.
•
Possibility to split the continuous stream of scan point data into
several files.
•
Possibility to pause the stream of scan point data.
•
Possibility to synchronize with an external device, for example in order
to capture the exact longitudinal movement of the scanner.
Please note that the scanner does not know whether it is operated stationary
or moved along a track. Therefore the recorded scan points don’t have the
full 3D information.
