inclinometer turns yellow, if the scanner is tilted more than 2°. In this case the
accuracy of the inclination measurement is reduced.
If the inclination is larger than 5°, the background color of the level will turn
red. This has two consequences: the inclinometer accuracy will be further
reduced, and the scan quality may be affected.
The two linear levels describe the direction of inclination: If the bubble in the
upper level is on the left side, the scanner is tilted to the right (if you are
standing in front of the display). If the scanner is tilted towards you, the bubble
in the left level is in the upper half.
Inclinometer Warnings
An Inclination Warning icon in the header bar is only visible when the current
inclination of the scanner is above 2° (the icon becomes yellow) or the
icon becomes red if the scanner is tilted more than 5°.
To get reliable measurements from the built-in dual axis compensator you
must set up the scanner with an inclination less than 5° before starting your
next scan. Note that inclinations greater than 2° are measured with less
precision, which can affect the scan registration. To align the scanner you can
use either a bubble inclinometer at the tripod or the inclinometer screen.
The displayed warnings can be configured as follows:
All
An inclinometer warning will be displayed if the scanner is tilted more than 2°.
This is the recommended setting.
Reduced
An inclinometer warning will be displayed if the scanner is tilted more than 5°.
Off
No inclinometer warnings will be displayed in the header bar.
