1.2 Overview of the Complete System
3DInspect transmits measurement data from the sensors used via Ethernet in a simple way and provides
said data in three-dimensional form. These 3D data are further processed, evaluated and assessed in
measuring programs with 3DInspect on the PC and, if necessary, logged and transmitted via Ethernet to
a control unit. If required, these 3D data can be saved with the software.
The measuring programs can be selected and configured in the software. The programs are arranged in
a list and executed from “top” to “bottom”. The measuring programs can access results of previous
measuring programs, but not the other way round (“waterfall model”).
Once parameterization is complete, measurement operation can be activated in the software. The meas-
ured values can be output via Ethernet using the following protocols:
- UDP, binary format
- TCP, binary format
You can run 3DInspect in its standard version or with the “Automation” function extension. If you are us-
ing the surfaceCONTROL 3D 3X10-XX sensor, this automatically serves as the license for activating the
“Automation” function extension.

1.3 Definition of Basic Terms
- Point cloud: A surface measured by the sensor is represented by a number of three-dimensional
points. Each of these points is defined by its X, Y and Z coordinate.
- X coordinate: The transverse coordinate of a point.
- Y coordinate: The longitudinal coordinate of a point.
- Z coordinate: The vertical coordinate of a point.
- Measuring operation: Refers to the operation in which a point cloud is detected by the sensor,
transmitted and all measured values are determined in the PC.
1.4 Operating Modes
3DInspect offers two operating modes:
- Setup mode: The user can set up the sensor and the software for the measuring task at hand and
carry out measuring operations if required.
- Measurement mode: In measurement mode, measurements can be controlled automatically.
Note: The measurement mode is only available with an activated “Automation” function extension.
