Use Inclinometer
- Enable or disable the automatic use of the inclination
measurement of the built-in dual axis compensator (inclinometer) for the scan
registration in SCENE. However, regardless of your setting, the data of this
sensor is always measured and attached to each scan. If the use of the
inclinometer data is switched ON, it will automatically be used to register the
scans in SCENE; if it is switched off, the data will be ignored. You can still
change this behavior later in SCENE. See the SCENE user manual for more
information. You can jump directly to Use Inclinometer by tapping the quick
access icon ( ) at the top of the screen
.
Use Compass - Enable or disable the automatic use of the data of the built-in
compass for the scan registration in SCENE. The data of the compass is
always measured and attached to each scan during scanning and will
automatically be used for the scan registration, if this button is switched to ON.
For more information, see Compass on page 87.
Use Altimeter
- Enable or disable the automatic use of the altimeter data for
the scan registration in SCENE. Just like with the inclinometer, the data of the
altimeter is always measured and attached to each scan during scanning and
will automatically be used for the scan registration, if this button is switched to
ON. You may want to enter a reference height before starting your scan
project. This reference height will then act as basis for all the measurements
made by the altimeter. You will find the altimeter settings under Manage >
Sensors > Altimeter. For more information, see Altimeter on page 89.
Use GPS - Turn the GPS sensor ON or OFF. Unlike the other sensors, the
GPS data is only recorded during scanning and will thus only be available for
NOTE: To get the most reliable data from the dual axis
compensator, make sure that the scanner’s inclination is less than
2°. For more information, see Inclinometer (Dual Axis
Compensator) on page 85.
