Maptek Scanner Operator Manual - XR3
Vehicle compass calibration
The scanner has a built-in compass for use in determining the scanner’s
true orientation. Vehicle compass calibration is necessary for eliminating
vehicle interference with the scanner compass. It is only required once
initially, then at approximately six monthly intervals for updating the
calibration. This function is performed in Settings and then applied in the
Setup section when scanning from the vehicle and using the internal
compass option.
Settings functions – Vehicle–compass calibration
Perform a vehicle-compass
calibration to compensate for the
vehicle’s influence on the scanner’s
internal compass readings.
Apply vehicle-compass calibration
in Setup for each job that involves
utilising the internal compass while
the scanner is mounted on a
vehicle.
