Select a Surface probe.
Open the Ring Scan
dialog box from the menu (Insert | Scan | Ring
Scan), or click the Ring Scan button
from the Tracker Measure toolbar.
Use the ATS600 Ring Scan function to perform a 360-degree scan (ring or full dome) within a minimum and maximum vertical angle.
To perform a Ring Scan from the Ring Scan dialog box and create the Ring Scan command:
Select a Surface probe.
Open the Ring Scan
dialog box from the menu (Insert | Scan | Ring
Scan), or click the Ring Scan button
from the Tracker Measure toolbar.
Ring Scan dialog box
You can update the ID for your scan in the ID field or use the default name. This is the name of the scan command that PC-DMIS displays in the Edit window.
Type the Max Vertical Angle and Min Vertical Angle values. You can also click the respective Read button to read the current angle from the tracker.
Type a value in the Point to Point Distance box. This value specifies the minimum distance between two consecutive points in a scan line.
Type a value in the Line to Line Distance box. This value specifies the minimum distance between two consecutive scan lines.
Type a value in the Reference Distance box.
PC-DMIS uses the Reference Distance value to calculate the point-to-point and line-to-line density as the value attainable at this distance. PC-DMIS computes the amount of lines and points it "needs" to achieve the density defined at the Reference Distance.
For example, if you keep the default values for Point to Point Distance (100), Line to Line Distance (100), and Reference Distance (10000), and you measure a wall at 5000 mm distance, you should have a higher density.
Select a COP from the Reference COP list. This is the COP that PC-DMIS stores the scanned data in. If you don't select a COP from the list, or if you enter one that is not yet created, PC-DMIS displays a prompt to ask if you want to create a new COP.
Click Create.
