File – Import – Digitizer – One Scan (When VIVID 9i is Selected)

Performing One Scan with the VIVID 9i

This command is used to cause the VIVID 9i (VI-9i) to scan the object one scan at a time using the remote control function of this software. Registration of multiple scan data can be performed by manually designating their corresponding points.

Once registration is complete, the data can be saved together with the coordinate conversion parameters provided for registration as a single data file (CDK). The data is then registrated and three-dimensionalized based upon the saved coordinate conversion parameters using the File-Importcommands.

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.

Memo

Before performing the procedure below, make sure that the digitizer you are going to use is selected by the File

Menu

1 When using VIVID 9i for the first time or when the lens has been exchanged, field calibration must be performed using a Field Calibration System.

Place a Field Calibration System that is suitable for the lens to be used, and click the [Calibration] button in the [File-Import-Digitizer -One Scan] dialog box to start field cali- bration.

Note

User calibration must also be performed when using VIVID 9i after long periods of non-use or when excessive changes in the environment (temperature, humid- ity) have occurred.

Ref. For details on user calibration, refer to VIVID 9i Instruction Manual.

2 From the [File] menu, select [Import], [Digitizer] and then [One Scan].

The [File-Import-Digitizer-One Scan] dialog box will appear.

The monochrome monitor image captured by the VIVID 9i will appear in the Work window area of the dialog box.
