File – Import – Digitizer – Step Scan (When VIVID 700 is Selected)

Performing Step Scan with the VIVID 700

This command is used to take two or more shots using the optional rotating stage via the remote control function of this software. If a rotating stage has been selected by the rotating table, rotation of the stage can also be controlled.

After the necessary shots are taken, scan the calibration chart. Data acquired from different angles will be subjected to registration, and the resulting data will appear.

Warning

Never stare into the laser emitting window.

Do not place a lens, mirror or optical element in the passage of the laser beam. Doing so may converge the laser beam, resulting in damage to your eyes, burns or fire. To prevent the above accidents, make sure that a wall or similar which can block the laser beam is located behind the object.
