With the ControlPoint object you can insert control point locations. These locations interrupt the normal scan and alter scan speed, point density or both for defined portions of the scan.
The ControlPoint object is used with only the following scans:
- LinearOpen
- LinearClose
- Patch
- Section
- Line (Basic Scan)
Additionally, the ControlPoint object only works on machines that use an analog probe that allows continuous contact scanning.
In the PC-DMIS documentation, the Control Points are called Interrupt Points. See "Interrupts" in the "Scanning Your Part" section of your PC-DMIS documentation.
