Site Scan
The dialog is a part of the Site Scan wizard.
To configure options for performing a 3D site scan with a GTL Series total station).
- Scan Type:
- Full Dome - perform a 360° scanning at the point of occupation.
- Full Dome (Shift Scan) - perform an extended 360° scanning. This scanning method allows you to move the instrument from one location to another without having to go through Backsight Setup each time. All of the scans can be then post-processed in the specialized software (MAGNET Collage is recommended). More...
- Area - perform scanning of the custom area. You will need to specify the area parameters further in the Scan Area dialog.
- Station Type: Select the station - Current Occupation or None. In case of None, a new station point will be created in MAGNET Field.
- Station Name: Displays the name of the selected station.
- Image check box:
- During scanning, the panorama image of the site will be taken. The laser scanning intensity plot will be shown in the Scan Results dialog dispersed over this panorama image. The current brightness setting displays next to the check box. Set the brightness by clicking
and selecting Camera Settings in the dialog menu.
- During scanning, the panorama image of the site will not be taken. In the Scan Results screen, only the laser scanning intensity plot will be displayed.
- Scan Resolution:
- Standard - Scanning will be performed with standard resolution.
- Fine - Scanning will be performed with a higher resolution (more points will be scanned but the resulting files take up more space).
- Superfine - Scanning will be performed with the highest resolution (maximum of the points will be scanned resulting in even more space taken). Superfine resolution is available for specific TS models.
- Space Available: The field displays an approximate number of scans that can be made (based on the space available on a scanner media and the scan resolution selected).
- Stream/download point cloud via scanner Wi-Fi: Select the check box to use Wi-Fi connection to transfer point cloud data and intensity image from the TS memory to the current job. The respective connection and scanner initialization dialogs will open allowing the user to connect to the scanner via Wi-Fi. This feature is available for scanning TS with build-in Wi-Fi module. See more information on how to establish Wi-Fi communication with scanning device of a robotic total station.
