Gocator Line Profile Sensors: User Manual

Tools and Native Drivers • 577

With some formats, one or more of the following options are available:

Option

Description

Scale Z

Resamples the Z values to use the full value range.

Swap X/Y

Swaps the X and Y axes to obtain a right-handed

coordinate system.

Keep Aspect Ratio

Resamples the X and Y axes to obtain the proper aspect

ratio.

Output options

The GenTL format is a 48-bit RGB or grey scale PNG. Height map, intensity and stamp
information are stored as defined in the GenTL Driver section (

GenTL Driver

on page 558). You

can load the exported data into image processing software to provide simulation data for
developing applications using the GenTL driver.

To convert exported CSV into different formats:

1.

Select the CSV file to convert in the

CSV

 field.

2.

(Optional)

If intensity information is required, check the

Intensity

box and select the intensity bitmap.

Intensity information is only used when converting to ASCII or GenTL format. If intensity is not selected,
the ASCII format will only contain the point coordinates (XYZ).

3.

If a dual-sensor system was used, choose the source sensor next to

Image

.

4.

Select the output format.

For more information on output formats, see

Output formats

on the previous page.

5.

(Optional)

Set the

Scale Z

,

Swap X/Y

, and

Keep Aspect Ratio

options.

Availability of these options depends on the output format you have chosen. For more information, see

Output options

above.

6.

Click

Convert

.

The converter converts the input files.

The converted file will be in the same directory as the input file. It will also have the same name as the
input file but with a different file extension. The converted file name is displayed in the

Output File

field.

MountainsMap Transfer Tool

The MountainsMap transfer tool (MMTransfer.exe) lets you trigger scans on a connected sensor. The
scan data is then automatically transferred to the MountainsMap component of the transfer tool. You
can then work on the scan data within the tool. For more information on the tool, see

Using the

Mountains Map Transfer Tool

on the next page.

MountainsMap must be installed and properly licensed on the PC.
