Gocator Line Profile Sensors: User Manual
Gocator Web Interface • 116
The following table provides quick references for specific goals that you can achieve from the panels in
the Scan page.
Goal Reference
Select a trigger source that is appropriate for the application. Triggers (page 117)
Ensure that camera exposure is appropriate for scan data acquisition. Exposure (page 129)
Find the right balance between data quality, speed, and CPU utilization. Active Area (page 124)
Exposure (page 129)
Job File Structure (page 474)
Specify mounting orientations. Layout (page 96)
Align scan data to a common reference and so that values can be correctly scaled
along the different axes.
Aligning Sensors (page 139)
Set up the part detection logic to create discrete objects from scan data. Part Detection (page 153)
Specify smoothing, gap-filling, and resampling parameters to remove effects of
occlusions.
Filters (page 146)
Scan Modes
The Gocator web interface supports a video mode and one or more data acquisition modes. The scan
mode can be selected in the Scan Mode panel.
Mode and Option Description
Video Outputs video images from the Gocator. This mode is useful for configuring exposure
time and troubleshooting stray light or ambient light problems.
Profile
Outputs profiles and performs profile measurements.
Video images are processed internally to produce laser profiles and cross-sectional
measurements.
Surface
Outputs 3D point clouds and performs surface measurements. The sensor uses various
methods to generate a surface (see Surface Generation on page 149). Part detection
can be enabled on a surface to identify discrete parts (Part Detection on page 153).
