Scanner data file format
Scan naming convention
The scan file naming convention uses letters and numbers which help to
indicate information such as time and scanner settings used.
The date, time, location and/or backsight name may appear depending on
which scan setup is used.
The letters include (C) for a combined scan (laser distance measurement
and photo capture – only available for scanner models C and CT) or range
only (R – only the distance measurement returned by the laser) and the
next number indicates the scan resolution setting.
The scanner angle is also indicated by level (L) - within 5 degrees of
horizontal, or not level (U) - greater than 5 degrees.
These files also vary slightly according to the type of file or method of
scanning employed.
Generally, the scan name follows these guidelines:
Scan_(SP)(CR)(PD)(LU)(PS)_(IN).r3s
or
date_time_(CR)(PD)(LU)(PS)_(IN).r3s
Where:
Scan: Scan job name
date_time: Date and time when scan started
(SP): Scan speed setting (1x, 2x, or 4x); 1x = 50 kHz, 2x = 100 kHz, 4x
= 200 kHz,
(CR): Combined range & photographic (C) requires Camera configuration
options, or Range distance only (R).
