PC-DMIS automatically displays the Portable
Scanning Widget toolbar in the Graphic Display window when you
connect to a portable device and the active probe is a laser scanner.
When you connect to a portable device, and your active probe is a laser
scanner, you can use the Portable Scanning Widget
button 
to show and hide the Portable
Scanning Widget toolbar. You can find the Portable
Scanning Widget button on the Pointcloud,
QuickCloud and Mesh
toolbars (View | Toolbars).
The toolbar options are:
Exclusion Plane button - Click this button to
display the Exclusion Plane dialog box. The
dialog box allows you to measure and enter settings to exclude data while
scanning. You can also set the exclusion plane from the Laser
Data Collection Settings dialog box. For details, see "Laser
Data Collection Settings" in the PC-DMIS Laser documentation.
Profile list - This list allows you to select
a scanning profile. PC-DMIS comes with pre-defined profiles for laser
scanning using the Pointcloud or Mesh Display. You can also create or
edit profiles from the Laser Data Collection Settings
dialog box. For details, see "Laser
Data Collection Settings" in the PC-DMIS Laser documentation.
Delete last scan pass button - Click this button
to delete the last scan pass. When using a Hexagon Portable Absolute arm,
you can also use the arm's left button to delete the last scan pass.
Low Quality Triangles On/Off button - If you
click this button, while scanning, the software displays the triangles
that form the mesh which have an angle greater than the Quality
Angle setting for Mesh in the Pointcloud
Display area of the Laser Data Collection Settings
dialog box. For details, see "Laser
Data Collection Settings" in the PC-DMIS Laser documentation.
Create Mesh button - Click this button to create
a mesh data object from the scanned data. This process finalizes the mesh
and then creates the mesh data object. The process uses the current Finalize mode setting for Mesh
in the Pointcloud Display area of the Laser Data Collection Settings dialog box. For
details, see "Laser
Data Collection Settings" in the PC-DMIS Laser documentation.
This may be a time-consuming operation based on the parameters you use.
