the
Camera search
button to search the network and see a list of all available devices.
If the camera you want to connect to is not on the same subnet as the NIC you
have to reconfigure the camera to the same subnet before you can connect to it. For
information about editing the IP settings, see
"Editing IP settings", page 65

Getting a 2D image
Next, you capture and view the 2D image data in the
2D Image
tab. Click the play
button to view the 2D image and the laser line. A 2D image is what the camera sees
when it is used as an ordinary camera. You can edit parameter values related to the
image acquisition and evaluate the result directly in the image viewer until the result is
satisfactory.
Figure 5: Getting the 2D image. The guaranteed FOV and boost exposure features are illustrated.
To see exactly where on the object the laser line goes, use the
Boost exposure
button to
temporarily brighten the area. You also have the possibility to verify that the region you
are viewing falls within the guaranteed field of view, by clicking
Guaranteed FOV
.

Getting a 3D image
In the
3D Image
tab, you view the 3D image that is the result of using laser triangulation.
Click the play button to start acquiring profiles. A 3D image is generated from acquired
profiles. You can edit parameter values and evaluate the result directly in the image
viewer until the result is satisfactory. You also have several options to visualize the 3D
