This view shows a list of all available scan profiles. The list contains factory predefined profiles that are
read-only and custom profiles that can be created and manipulated under Manage > Profiles.
See Service on page98 for an overview of the available factory predefined scan profiles. See Selected
Profile on page67
Select a profile by tapping it. The selected profile is highlighted.
Setting Resolution and Quality
Resolution - The resulting scan resolution. Choose from 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/5, 1/8, 1/10, 1/16, 1/20 and 1/32.
Quality - The quality of the scan and the scanning time at constant scan resolutions. You can balance the
quality and speed. If speed is more important, choose lower values. If the quality of the scan data is more
important, choose higher values.
The resulting scan duration, vertical and horizontal scan points (Scan Size [Pt]), as well as scan size in
megapoints (MPts) is displayed in the middle of the view. Point distance [mm/10 m] / [in/30 ft] is the
distance between the captured scan points in mm (in) within a scan distance of 10 meters (30 ft).
NOTE: The unambiguity interval specifies the maximum distance at which the scanner can accurately
measure points with the selected settings. For technical reasons, points created for objects
farther than this distance appear much closer to the scanner than what the objects actually are.
If this happens, remove the points later using the SCENE software. This can be time-
consuming. It is quicker to choose a combination of resolution and quality with an
unambiguity interval that is larger than the most distant object to be scanned.
