Scan Zoom States (for CMS Sensors)

CMS sensors provide you with an additional area called Zoom, located at the bottom of the Laser Scan Properties tab of the Probe Toolbox. This area tells the sensor to work in predefined zoom states, with each state comprised of a specific combination of sensor frequency, data density, and Field of View (FOV) width.

Sample Zoom area

This area displays a grid of option buttons arranged in columns and rows. Across the top, the "columns" show the data density. Along the side, the "rows" list the FOV width. You can only select proper combinations which are the option buttons with a green background. The software grays out the improper combinations.

You can hover your mouse pointer over any valid option button to display a yellow tooltip that details its scan mode information.
