Scan lines

RObotic

  • The scan lines application is used to automatically measure and store a cross section line using a robotic total station.

  • The procedure can automatically determine surface changes in direction and measure vertices (edges). The scanning interval can also be changed during operation.


  • Open the Survey page.

  • Select Scan line.

    • Horizontal scan: the software performs an horizontal scan at a defined points distance.

      • Scan direction: selects the direction of the scan.

      • Distance: the distance between the scan points.

    • Horizontal fast: the software performs a quick horizontal scan entering the number of points to measure. This method is suitable for regular rooms.

      • Scan direction: selects the direction of the scan.

      • Count: number of points to scan.

    • Sloped scan: allows to perform a sloped line scan at a defined points distance.

      • Distance: the distance between the scan points.

    • Vertical scan (2 points): the software performs a vertical scan from an initial point to the ending point.

      • Scan direction: selects the direction of the scan.

      • Count: number of points to scan.

    • Vertical scan (auto): the software performs a full vertical scan.

      • Scan direction: selects the direction of the scan.

      • Count: number of points to scan.

  • Press Next to enter in the Scan lines page.

  • Depending on the scan mode selected and the parameters measure the reference points (for example the point where a scan starts, or the first and last point of a scan).

  • Press Measure to start the scanning.

  • During the scanning:

    • Press + or - to increase or reduce the step.

    • Press Skip to skip a point and jump to the next point.

    • Press Stop to stop the scanning.

  • Stop or wait that the scan is complete.

  • Tap on Tools to open the line scan tools.

    • Add vertices: allows to manually add a point in a specific segment.

    • Delete vertices: allows to delete a vertices from the scan.

    • Reduce vertices: automatically removes the vertices to reduce the number of vertices on a straight line.

    • Survey setup: opens the TPS settings.

    • Show/hide main drawing: shows or hide the background drawing.

  • Press Accept to save the scan.
