Figure 62: Settings for the Image workflow step. The black region is the active sensor area. The
red line represents the extracted laser line. The vertical blue line represents the sensor column
for which the scatter data is visualized.
Show active sensor area
Select the Show active sensor area checkbox to visualize the active area on the sensor.
When the checkbox is selected, a blue overlay appears in the 2D image (see figure 62).
The overlay represents the parts of the image to be excluded from the generation of
3D image data. The remaining dark area is the active sensor area (corresponding to
Region1).
Simulate laser line extraction
Select the Simulate laser line extraction checkbox to visualize an approximation of the
extracted laser line. The visualization shows where the laser line is detected in the
active sensor area, which is useful for tuning laser line extraction parameters such as
the DetectionThreshold, PeakThreshold, WAMSize, and SearchDirection.
Simulate scatter window
Select the Simulate scatter window checkbox to visualize the scatter data to be extracted,
based on the current values for the ScatterOffset, ScatterWidth, and ScatterMode parame‐
ters. The visualization is useful for evaluating the effect of a parameter change on the
scatter data. To enable scatter measurements, see "Enabling scatter measurements",
page 64.
The vertical blue line in the image viewer (see figure 62) represents the sensor column
for which the scatter data is visualized. Click and move the line, or change the Column
value in the Settings section, to select a different sensor column.
9.2.9 Collecting 3D data
Workflow step: Data collection
1. Click Start to start the collection of 3D image data.
2. To adjust the number of profiles in each grabbed 3D image, set RegionSelector to
Scan3dExtraction1 and edit the Height parameter.
3. To take a snapshot of the 3D image, click Snapshot.
✓
The Evaluation view window opens and shows a 3D view of the image.
