Operation of the Measuring System with a PC
6.1
Displays
After getting ready for operation, switch on the external direct current power supply (24 VDC).
The
state
LED indicates different error conditions by flashing, see Chap.
If several errors occur at the
same time, it indicates two of them alternately. Therefore the LED can continue to flash for some time after the
rectification of an error. If no flashing occurs for several seconds, no error has occurred.
i
The scanCONTROL 25xx sensor needs a running-in time of typically 20 minutes for high precision mea-
surements.

Operating and Demonstration Programs
For sensor operation, several programs are available. You will find them online on the sensor product website
or in the Download area: https://www.micro-epsilon.com/2D_3D/laser-scanner/Software/downloads/
- The scanCONTROL Developer Tool program supports scanner parameterization and user-friendly visual-
ization of profile data.
- scanCONTROL Configuration Tools is used to analyze typical measurement tasks for scanCONTROL 25xx.
- scanCONTROL 3D-View visualizes three dimensional point data, which are recorded with scanCONTROL
25xx.
The measuring fields are partially used in the demonstration programs, see Chap.
