If connecting to a SKIDS-60YAW (Ver. 2.0) unit, select “CSG-602R(Ver.2.0)”.

 

 

Rotation step

Used to select the desired angle (degree) of the rotating stage from “90”, “60” and “Other”. If

 

“Other” is selected, enter the desired rotation step..

 

 

Current Angle

Used to select the desired scan step (i.e. the angle at which scan is to be performed). “0” will be

 

selected first when the dialog box is opened. It is possible to select the desired angle by clicking

 

the angle currently displayed in [Current Angle] and selecting the desired angle from the pull-

 

down menu that appears. If an angle at which scan has already been performed is selected again

 

and the [Scan] button is clicked, the previously acquired image data will be overwritten.

Auto read

If this checkbox is checked, a color image will be read automatically when the dialog box is

 

opened. Even if the [Read] button is not clicked after the [Scan] button is clicked, the data will be

 

read automatically after images are acquired, and the color image and range image will be dis-

 

played in the dialog box. If there is no check mark in the [Option] checkbox, for instance when the

 

software is just started up, the [Auto read] checkbox will be checked automatically.

 

 

Read

Clicking this button while there is no check mark in the [Auto read] checkbox will read data from

 

the instrument and display the range image and the latest color image that were acquired when

 

the [Scan] button was clicked last time in the dialog box. This button is effective only if the [Auto
