Line Probe
NOTE: Always clear this check box when compensating the FARO Laser
Line Probe.
See “FARO Laser Line Probe Compensation” on page 97.
Scan Rate and Density
Use the Scan Rate Density settings for data reduction. Reducing the number of
points the FARO Laser Line Probe collects can improve system performance,
increase scanning speed and potentially reduce unwanted noisy data.
• Scan Rate - choose the number of scan lines per second. 1/1 is the normal
rate of scan lines per second, set this to discard scan lines.
NOTE: Always set the scan rate to 1/1 when calibrating the FARO Laser
Line Probe.
• Scan Density - choose the number of points on each scan line. 1/1 is all of
the points on the laser line, set this to discard points on each line.
Information
• The INFORMATION section displays the unique information for the current
FARO Laser Line Probe.
Basic Settings
• From the MAT ER IA L drop-down window choose any existing material
setting. Use the commands in this drop-down window to save material
settings.
NOTE: The current material setting is stored on your computer and in the
Quantum. If you connect the Quantum to another computer, the current
material will be Unknown. Save the material settings to copy the settings
from the Quantum to the new computer.
•Click the Auto button to set the Noise Threshold, Exposure, and Laser
Intensity levels for the current material. Hold the FARO Laser Line Probe in
position, pointing at the surface, until the process completes. You can also
set the values manually:
• Exposure - How long the “shutter” is open and the sensor is exposed to
light in the camera. Move the slider, or enter a number; the
corresponding value in milliseconds appears next to it. Light colors and
reflective surfaces are better captured with low exposure levels. Darker
colors typically require higher exposure levels.
