• Movement Filter - A filter to prevent the capture same line of data. The
value is the distance the line must move before capturing another line of
data.
NOTE: The Automatic algorithms disable the Auto button and the EXPOSURE
and L
ASER INTENSITY sliders.
Advanced Settings
• Algorithms - Select an exposure setting:
• Fixed Exposure: The Exposure setting is constant and does not
automatically adjust during use.
• Automatic - Normal: This is an automatic mode to scan non-reflective,
or dull, materials. The E
XPOSURE level is set to a low level and as you
digitize, the L
ASER INTENSITY setting automatically adjusts to maintain
the proper saturation level.
NOTE: FARO recommends this algorithm for the compensation of
the FARO Laser Line Probe HD.
For more information, see “FARO
Laser Line Probe Compensation” on page 97.
• Automatic - High Contrast (HDR): This is an automatic mode to scan
high-contrast surfaces such as a black and a white surface. This
algorithm uses a dual exposure where the first exposure is looking for
high return surfaces such as white and the second exposure is looking
for low return surfaces such as black.
NOTE: Using this algorithm reduces the rate of data capture in half.
NOTE: The Automatic exposure algorithms disable the Auto button and
the E
XPOSURE and LASER INTENSITY sliders.
Choosing any of the Automatic settings adds an exposure indicator to the
R
ANGE FINDER dialog box. In the RANGE FINDER dialog box:
• A green dot in the upper left-hand corner of the RANGE FINDER dialog
box indicates that the exposure has been adjusted and you are ready to
scan.
• The indicator changes to either a red “+” (plus) or “-” (minus) sign
indicating that the FARO Laser Line Probe is either over-exposed or
under-exposed, and it is automatically adjusting the exposure. The
FARO Laser Line Probe does not collect data during this adjustment,
however this automatic adjustment process is very fast.
For more information, see “Range Finder Dialog Box” on page 96.
