Tip – On the scan display screen, the Scan icon is always enabled. By tapping it, you can acquire another Full
scan or perform an area scan. You can check that you are still in the Full Scan acquisition mode in the next
step (after tapping on the Scan icon) as the next page name is Full Scan and the framing area is indicated as
0° to 360°.
Note – When resetting the Personal Settings, the Area scan density defaults to the last setting
used.
CAUTION – A warning message appears at the end of the acquisition if the instrument position has changed
before, between, or after the scanning.
Once a full scan is complete, you have the option to perform another full scan within the same
station or perform a scan of a specific area (known as an Area scan) or change the Instrument
Height.
