Importing Hds 7000 Data (.Zfs) - Leica ScanStation P30 Basic Training Manual

2 Importing HDS 7000 data (.zfs)

.zfs files originate from the Leica HDS 7000 and HDS 6x00 series. (Or Z&F Imager series).
This data is typically captured onboard and after transfer to a local hard disk or USB can be
imported directly into Cyclone.
2.1 Before Import – Set Preferences
Phase-based systems require filters to be defined to the specific scanner in order to receive as
clean as possible data.
The filter settings are applied during import hence they have to be adjusted (if required) prior to
this.
The default values are designed to work for the majority of all scanners in most
circumstances. When changing any values closely review the results on sample
scans before applying to a whole project.
•
From Cyclone Navigator go to Edit | Phase-Based Scanner Filter Settings... (see Figure 14)
•
Choose the respective Scanner model to view the active filter settings.
Figure 14
View the Cyclone Help Topic "Phase-Based Scanner Filter Settings" for a
description of the individual filters.
•
Use Scan File Mask corresponds to mask files written to the scan files by Z&F`s LaserControl
Software. It is recommended that this checkbox remain checked, even if the scan files do not
contain mask files.
