Managing scans
When you tap the station's thumbnail, all scans for that station are listed. Scans are listed in order
of creation. For each scan, you can view the following information:
l Type: "Full" or "Area".
l Mode of acquisition: Preview, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, or Extended (if the Extended option is
installed). See page 73.
l Mode of precision: One Pass or HP – 4 Passes. See page 75.
l Instrument Height value.
l The Day/Month/Year and time of creation.
l The thumbnail preview of the image to be scanned.`
Creating a scan
By default, a scan is a 360° acquisition of 3D coordinate data, also known as a "Full scan". If you
want to acquire data on a smaller area, this is called an "Area scan".
Each scan is named "Scan XX" where XX is its order. XX starts at 01 and increments by one digit for
each new scan. You cannot give a name to the newly created scan other than the default one. For
each scan, a TZF format file is created and placed in the RealWorks' RWI folder. It is named: Project
XXX_Station XXX_Scan XX.
Note – The current scan name does not appear on the title bar as for a project or a station.
CAUTION – When moving to a new station you must return to the Home menu and start the scan from there. All
scans performed from the Scan Display menu are associated with that station.
Acquiring a full scan
1.
From the main menu (or in the Scanning panel of the Leveling dialog), tap . The
instrument performs an initialization. It rotates around its vertical axis to find its zero position.
Once done, data acquisition starts and a progress bar appears.
Note – If the USB flash drive is full, a dialog appears only after tapping Scan.
2.
Select a condition specified in the following table. This condition combines the Compensator
feature and the Auto Level Check function with the Leveling state of the instrument.
