6.8 Scanning
This chapter will give you a brief description on how to set the scanning
parameters to capture your first scans. Normally, you would provide and enter
project information before starting with your scan project. This will be
described later. For more information, see Scan Projects and Clusters on
page 73.
6.8.1 Setting the Scanning Parameters
(Home > Parameters)
Scanning parameters like resolution, quality or the scanning angles are the
parameters used by the scanner for recording the scan data.There are two
ways to set the scanning parameters: by changing them manually or by
selecting a scan profile which is a predefined set of scanning parameters.
When selecting a scan profile, its settings will overwrite the scanning
parameters.
