Scenevision-3D Configuration; Deltasphere-3000 Network Connection - 3rdTech DeltaSphere-3000 User Manual

2.3.2 SceneVision-3D Configuration

SceneVision software is installed with several default parameter settings that can be changed to
fit your environment. These parameters include the horizontal and vertical scanning field-of-
view, the choice of measurement units, the IP address of your scanner, and your default camera
configuration. These values can be set and saved with the Preferences Dialog box
(recommended) described in section 13.1 or by editing the configuration file, dsModel.cfg,
found in C:\Program Files\DeltaSphere\bin. Note that some configuration items specific to your
system, such as the scanner's IP address, were set at the factory.

2.3.3 DeltaSphere-3000 Network Connection

All communication with the DeltaSphere-3000 is via a standard Ethernet connection. In this
section we will establish and test the network connection. Section 4 provides a detailed
overview of scanning with the DeltaSphere.
Your network connection to the DeltaSphere scanner can be a direct connection (using a
crossover cable – which is supplied) between the scanner and a PC, a connection through a
private hub, or a connection through a larger network – each of the latter with a standard
Ethernet cable (not supplied).
The DeltaSphere-3000 arrives with an IP address already specified. (See the configuration.doc,
printed and placed in the front of the manual, for the IP address of your DeltaSphere, or see the
label on the scanner.) Unlike a new PC, where you can set the PC's IP address before adding it
to your network, the DeltaSphere has no keyboard or monitor. You must use the pre-assigned IP
address when connecting to the DeltaSphere for the first time.
Connecting to the DeltaSphere-3000
To connect a PC (or laptop) directly to the DeltaSphere-3000, connect a 'crossover' cable from
the Ethernet connection on the PC to the Ethernet connection (1) on the DeltaSphere-3000 (See
Figure 14). You will also need to connect the power pack to the power connection (2), plug in
the power pack, and turn the power switch (3) on the DeltaSphere-3000 to on. Some systems
also have a key that must be inserted and turned to on.
Run SceneVision on the PC using the desktop icon or the entry in the Start menu. Allow one
minute after DeltaSphere-3000 power-on for the embedded CPU to boot. Select the Scan tab
near the top of the SceneVision window.

Note: We recommend working through this manual before changing the default
values in the configuration file. See section 15.1 for additional information.
Note: You should not begin scanning with the DeltaSphere before
reading Section 4.
Note: The back of your system might look slightly different. It might have a
different camera mount or none at all.
