Chapter 5 Recording and Reprocessing Data

By default, ProScan produces four types of files for each scan, a .son intensity
file, .xyz and .off point cloud files as well as a .txt file. The intensity files allow
you to reprocess the raw data at a later time, while the point cloud files allow
viewing the scan results in standard point cloud viewers. The .txt file contains
information pertaining to the sonar settings for that scan. The following section
describes these items in detail.

dialog. To enable data logging check "File Recording Enabled" and press OK. To
change where files are saved type in a new location or click "Browse..." to select
one.
NOTE: Data files are automatically stored in C:\Documents and Settings
\Username\Temp. This can be changed in the Recording Setup dialog.
Checking the "Save Individual Scan Files" box in the Scan Settings tab will
preserve the files generated for each of the individual scans of a Spherical Scan
after they are merged as described later. If not checked, the individual files will
be deleted after merging is complete.
