The Measurement Profile submenu is found by clicking the Tracker | Measurement Profile menu item.
The options are:
Standard: Useful in controlled environments to provide relatively high measurement accuracies.
Fast: Useful for handheld applications when you need measurements as fast as possible.
Precise: Provides the highest measurement accuracies but requires longer measurement periods.
Outdoor: Useful for almost any kind of outdoor measurement application (not available for LeicaLMF trackers).
Continuous Distance: Useful for contact scans which have a fixed distance between hits. The Distance delta value is set from the Probing tab of the Parameter Settings dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Parameters).
Continuous Time: Useful for contact scans which have a fixed time between hits. The Time delta value is set from the Probing tab of the Parameter Settings dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Parameters).
You can set these commands from the Tracker Operation toolbar (View | Toolbars).
PC-DMIS displays the currently active measurement profile in the Tracker status bar. The toolbar button is implemented to display a submenu with the available measurement profiles based on the tracker you are using.
If Insert Tracker Command is turned ON in the Tracker menu, PC-DMIS inserts the tracker command into the measurement routine that is associated with the current measurement profile. The active measurement profile on the sensor is then updated according to the active measurement profile command in the measurement routine.
If the tracker provides measurement profile settings, the Measurement time setting in the Tracker Machine Interface Setup dialog box is not available as the tracker internally determines the optimal measurement time.
