Figure 5. (Left) X, Y and Z axes in relation to the profiler plane of light (in purple). (Right) Each captured profile, depicted as a
white line in the XZ-plane, outputs Z (height) values. A scan captures a sequence of profiles; the output forms a range map.
The data output mainly consists of the height value for every point of a profile, for every profile of a scan. But
other information can also be captured, such as reflectance. See section 3D Data Type Output Format
Description for details on data output formats.
