pause button. You might want to pause to avoid scanning a moving object,

scanner remain absolutely motionless when paused, and that it is
recommended to pause it via a connected browser, rather than tapping the
scanner’s screen.

pictures, depending on environmental conditions, the scanner may
make another full turn to capture inclination data. It is important
