The new Graphical User Interface is easy to use and
understand providing complete scan information and
control and easy-to-find icons indicating functions.
All information for a scan, including the point cloud,
trajectory, summary information, GNSS data, Stencil 2
parameters, and last pose is organized in individual sub-
folders. Subfolders can be renamed to suit individual jobs.
View real-time scanning, perform operations, and manage
files on the iPad or with an optional HDMI display.
Change file names or make other changes directly on the
screen or when using a mouse with an external display.
The large desktop toggle button makes it easy to
start/stop scanning.
Replacing the text entry-based tools with dialog boxes
provide a more user-friendly way to input information for
the playback, loop closure, and sharpening tools.
The operating mode indicator shows which mapping or
localization mode is selected.
Simplified instructions for integrating GNSS devices with
Stencil 2. Stencil 2 records GNSS data for use in loop
closure to geo-register datasets.
Localization map and last pose pointers provide more
intuitive operation when conducting multiple localization
mapping scans.
