FARO Laser Scanner Focus X 130 Manual
January 2014
Once the project structure has been created, assign the single scans to the
corresponding clusters: To do this, select a scan project from the projects list that
has been prepared by you in advance before starting a scan. This project should
correspond to the current scanner position. For example, if you are taking scans
in the office building on floor 2, in room 2, select „room 2" from the project list
and then start taking the scans in this room. The next scans are then assigned to
the selected project or sub project „room 2" until you select another project or
sub project. This information will be attached to each scan and helps SCENE to
automatically combine the scans to scan clusters and thus to automate the
registration of the scans. For more information on scan registration and
combining scans to cluster, see the SCENE manual.
You can enter scan projects with the controller software of the scanner or, more
convenient, with SCENE and then transfer the project to the scanner via the SD
card. Please read the SCENE manual for more information on this.
: Every project and subproject gets an unique internal

identification number when it is created. Combining the scans to scan clusters
during post processing in SCENE will be done according to this identification
number and not on the basis of the project name. This is particularly relevant
when working with several scanners on the same scan project. In this case you
should create the project (structure) once as a master and then transfer it to all of
your scanners. Thus, it is not recommended to create or edit a project of the same
scan project separately on each scanner. Even if the separately created projects
and subprojects might have the same name, they will get different identification
numbers and will be treated as different projects by SCENE.
