Next measure the size of your piece you want to scan.
Enter the Scan limits into the X Y and Z locations.
The Z needs to be slightly larger then what you are planning to scan.
It is suggested that if you are scanning a piece that is .5 of an inch in
height you do at most 1 inch in the Z location. This will prevent the
probe from descending too far down where it might be damaged.
Use the Step Size area to determine how large of steps you want to
do in the scan. Entering .04 is a roughing step that gives a rough
result but not a lot of fine detail. Every time you half the size of the
step from .04 for instance to .02 will quadruple the time it takes to
do the scan. It is recommended to run it at a larger step at first, then
you can load it in and check if you want to make smaller scan steps.
Scan Velocity is how fast the scan will move.
Velocity is set at maximim 10 in/min.
material or how detailed you are doing your scan, you might want to
slow the scan down. This will be a trial and error process. Try
different speeds to see what the scan looks like when you load it into
your viewing software.
You need to move the probe to the start location which is in the
lower left hand corner of the area to be scanned.
You need to have the probe tip higher than the highest point you are
going to scan.
