Selecting the Sensors

(Home > Parameters > Select Sensors)
Use Inclinometer - Enable or disable the automatic use of the inclination
measurement of the built-in dual axis compensator (inclinometer) for the scan
registration in SCENE. However, regardless of your setting, the data of this
sensor is always measured and attached to each scan. If the use of the
inclinometer data is switched ON, it will automatically be used to register the
scans in SCENE; if it is switched off, the data will be ignored. You can still
change this behavior later in SCENE. See the SCENE manual for more
information on this. P
axis compensator, make sure that the scanner's inclination is less than 5°. For
more information, see "Inclinometer (Dual Axis Compensator)" on page 96.
Use Compass - Enable or disable the automatic use of the data of the built-in
compass for the scan registration in SCENE. Just like with the inclinometer, the
data of the compass is always measured and attached to each scan during
scanning and will automatically be used for the scan registration, if this button is
switched to ON. For more information, see "Compass" on page 97.
Use Altimeter - Enable or disable the automatic use of the altimeter data for the
scan registration in SCENE. Just like with the inclinometer, the data of the
altimeter is always measured and attached to each scan during scanning and will
automatically be used for the scan registration, if this button is switched to ON.
You may want to enter a reference height beforJanuary 2014e starting your scan
project. This reference height will then act as basis for all the measurements
made by the altimeter. You will find the altimeter settings under Home > Manage
> Sensors > Altimeter. For more information, see "Altimeter" on page 99.
