File – Import – Digitizer – Step Scan (When VIVID 900/910 is Selected)

Performing Step Scan with the VIVID 910 or VIVID 900

This command is used to take two or more shots using the rotating stage via the remote control function of this software. If a rotating stage has been selected by the Turntable, rotation of the stage can also be controlled. After the necessary shots are taken, scan the calibration chart required for calibration of rotation. 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.

Note

If the rotating stage does not operate correctly from the dialog box, turn OFF the stage, turn it ON again, and then try to operate it.

Memo

The calibration chart is an accessory of the rotating stage set.

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

– Select Digitizer command.

If you have connected multiple VIVID 910 or VIVID 900 units, you can select the unit to be used by changing the SCSI ID. Note that the software can only load memory- card data from the VIVID unit with the highest SCSI ID.
