Scan lines

+ ROBOTIC | + ROBOTIC

• The scan lines application is used to automatically measure and store a cross section line using a robotic total station.

• The procedure can automatically determine surface changes in direction and measure vertices (edges). The scanning interval can also be changed during operation.

• Click Survey.

• Click Scan line.

  

• Select the scan mode.

  

  • Horizontal scan: the software performs an horizontal scan at a defined points distance.

    • Scan direction: allows to enter the direction of the scan.

    • Distance: enter the distance between the points.

  • Horizontal fast: the software performs a quick horizontal scan entering the number of points to measure. This method is suitable for regular rooms.

    • Scan direction: allows to enter the direction of the scan.

    • Count: number of points to scan.

  • Sloped scan: allows to perform a sloped line scan at a defined points distance.

    • Distance: enter the distance between the points.

  • Vertical scan (2 points): the software performs a vertical scan from an initial point to the ending point.

    • Scan direction: allows to enter the direction of the scan.

    • Count: number of points to scan.

  • Vertical scan (auto): the software performs a full vertical scan.

    • Scan direction: allows to enter the direction of the scan.

    • Count: number of points to scan.

• Click Next to enter in the Scan lines page.

  

• Depending on the scan mode selected and the parameters measure the reference points (for example the point where a scan starts, or the first and last point of a scan).

• Press Measure to start the scanning.

  

• Click + or - to increase or reduce the step.

• Click Skip to skip a point and jump to the next point.

• Click Stop to stop the scanning.

• Stop or wait that the scan is complete.

  

• Click on Tools to open the line scan tools.

  

  • Add vertices: allows to manually add a point in a specific segment.

  • Delete vertices: allows to delete a vertices from the scan.

  • Reduce vertices: automatically removes the vertices to reduce the number of vertices on a straight line.

  • Survey setup: opens the TPS settings.

  • Show/hide main drawing: shows or hide the background drawing.

• Click Accept to save the scan.
