Description of the "Data Preprocessing" View
E Measuring toolbar: Use this toolbar to set various ROIs for the measurement (see Chap. 3.16.4,
3.16.5 and 3.16.6).
F 3D-View toolbar: Use this toolbar to configure the orientation of the coordinate system in the 3D-
View (see Chap. 3.10).
G "Start measurement" button: Click on this button to perform a measuring operation, calculate the
measurement results and display the point cloud and measurement results of the currently se-
lected measuring program in the 3D-View.
H Results display: In setup mode, the characteristic data of the original plane and of the trans-
formed plane are displayed.
I Status bar: Status and error messages are displayed in the status bar (see Chapter 8.1).

Input data: Use this selection field to select the input data for the program (see also Chap.
3.16.3).
-
Display: Select wether input data, output data or both is displayed in the 3D-View (This selec-
tion is not available if setup mode is active).
2 Transformation settings:
- Rotation angle x/y/z[°]: The Euler angle in the relevant direction about which the point cloud is
rotated. The origin of the coordinate system is used as center of rotation. The Euler angles are
applied in the following order: X axis, Y axis, Z axis.
-
Translation x/y/z [mm]: The offset by which the profile is moved in the relevant direction.
3 Reset values: Resets the "Rotation angle X/Y/Z" and "Translation X/Y/Z" values to zero.
4 Setup mode: This option field allows you to activate or deactivate setup mode.
5 Calculate values: In setup mode, click on this button to calculate the Euler angles and offset such
that the fitted plane lies horizontally in the coordinate system and the center of gravity of the fitted
points is at the center of the coordinate system.
6 3D-View: In the 3D-View, the input point cloud (gray) and the transformed point cloud (green) are
displayed. In setup mode, the original and the transformed plane and, if applicable, the ROIs are
also displayed.
Note: The transformation is performed as follows: first, the rotation around the origin of the coordinate
system, then the movement of the profile.
