12. Positioning of Sensor and Test Object
General
i
Note the following instructions for optimum positioning of the sensor and test object.
- Observe an optimum distance between the sensor and the surface of the test object.
- Align the sensor with predominantly diffusely reflecting surfaces almost perpendicular
to the surface. To avoid direct reflection, we recommend that you tilt the sensor by a
few degrees.
- In the case of partially glossy surfaces, reflections from the test object can be reduced
by inclining the sensor by up to 30° with respect to the surface of the test object.
Alignment with Crosshair
You will achieve the best results in the mid of the measurement area (focal range of cam-
eras)
In the main view, switch from the 3D View to the Image data.
Switch to the Data acquisition tab.
Select Sensor settings > Pattern projection > Positioning.
The positioning pattern is displayed in the image data.
Use the positioning pattern to easily and optimally align the sensor in the mid of the
measurement area. Align the pattern of the projection with the superimposed pattern.
