HP-L-10.10 LITE sensor
The HP-L-10.10 LITE sensor is a lighter version of the HP-L-10.10 sensor. You select the probe from the Environment Configurator application.

The HP-L-10.10 LITE sensor has reduced set of functions compared to the HP-L-10.10 sensor as shown in this image of what an Auto Feature and a scan command look like for the HP-L-10.10 LITE sensor:

There are no changes to the Auto Feature or Scan dialog boxes for the HP-L-10.10 LITE sensor compared to the HP-L-10.10 sensor. Changes do occur with the third tab of the Probe Toolbox which is now called the HP-L-10.10 Lite Scan Properties.

The options on this tab are:
Shine check box and Exposure slider (UD mode) - The HP-L-10.10 and HP-L-10.10 LITE sensors offer you two different acquisition modes (Auto and User-defined) to acquire a pointcloud with the highest quality.
By default, both modes measure with a frequency of 300 Hz for the HP-L-10.10 sensor and 120 Hz for the HP-L-10.10 LITE sensor.
When you select the Shine check box, you are in Auto mode. Auto mode is a high dynamic range. It allows you to measure different surfaces with different surface colors and characteristics without the need of adjusting any settings.
User-defined (UD) mode is active when you do not select the Shine check box. In this mode, PC-DMIS enables the Exposure slider and disables the High sensitivity check box. The UD mode has a low dynamic range but has the best accuracy in terms of dispersion. In UD mode, you must adjust the exposure setting manually with the Exposure slider, or you can use the auto gain function which automatically determines the correct exposure setting for the surface to be measured. In UD Mode, it is difficult to measure different surfaces with different surface characteristics at the same time. You need to adjust the exposure level for each surface variation.
High sensitivity check box - Select this check box if you need to scan highly glossy blue or black parts that are not sufficiently reflective.
Point Reduction Filter list - This list determines whether or not PC-DMIS filters points along the scan line. You can select the desired percentage of total points to filter. If you select the OFF option, PC-DMIS acquires the complete data set without any filtering.
Live View
Unlike the HP-L-10.10 sensor, the HP-L-10.10 LITE version has reduced Live View functionality.

The limitations of the Live View toolbar for the HP-L-10.10 LITE sensor include:
The Visual Guide is not available. PC-DMIS disables the button for this option.
The Overview Camera is not available. The button is enabled but if you click it, PC-DMIS displays this image in the Live View display:
