PC-DMIS supports many sensors including the AS1 and the AS1-XL sensors.
The AS1-XL sensor is capable of measuring with a much larger stand-off than other laser sensors so, it requires a different set of scanning parameters.
When PC-DMIS auto-detects that the AS1-XL sensor is the active sensor, it automatically switches the scan profile with the appropriate parameter settings required by the sensor. The profile name remains the same, but you can see that some of the parameter changes of the profile setting are visible in the Laser Data Collection Settings dialog box. Other changes are made in the background which are not exposed.
If you switch from an AS1-XL sensor to a different laser sensor, PC-DMIS auto-detects the change and updates the scan profile again with the applicable parameters.
