Main Interface

The main interface provides the basic functions of the software, mainly used to control the scanner to capture and view data.

Interface_en

Area 1 is the Menu Bar.

Area 2 is the Shortcut Buttons, which contains common operations such as device management, capture, data access and so on.

Area 3 is the Display Area, which displays point cloud/image/capture parameters.

Area 4 is the Display Tabs, which can switch the image type of the Display Area.

Area 5 is the Display Parameter Buttons, which can change the point cloud display color, data range and other parameters, and can perform simple measurement operations.

Area 6 is the Parameter Setting Area, you can view and modify the current capture parameters.

Area 7 is the Device Information Area, you can view the information of the currently connected device.

Area 8 is the Data List Area, displaying the current cache and loaded data list.

The basic functions of each area are described below.

Menu Options

Shortcut Buttons

Icon Function
icon-DeviceManagement Device Management: Open the Device Management pop-up window.
icon-3DCapture Capture Once: Take one 3D capture.
icon-3DContinuousCapture Capture Continuously: Enable 3D continuous capture to capture 3D data at fixed intervals.
icon-2DCapture Capture 2D Once: Take one 2D capture.

icon-OpenFile Open File: Open a local point cloud file in .ply format.
icon-SaveFile Save File: Save the current data as a point cloud file, depth map, 2D image or cached data.

Display Area

The Display Area allows you to instantly display the point cloud and images acquired during the Capturing, as well as to view locally opened point cloud files. See View Operations for how to do this.

Display Tabs

The Display Tabs toggles the type of image currently being captured and the capture parameters. When you open a local point cloud file, you can also switch between point cloud and file information. For an example of the image type, see Viewing Images.

Icon Function
icon-PointCloud Displays the 3D point cloud captured by the scanner or opened locally.
icon-DepthMap Displays a depth map captured by the scanner.
icon-2DImage Displays the 2D image captured by the scanner.
icon-ConfidenceMap Displays a confidence map captured by the scanner.
icon-CaptureParameter Displays capture parameters or information about the local point cloud file.

Display Parameter Buttons

When a 3D point cloud is displayed, you can change the display options, such as point cloud color, display range, etc., by using the Display Parameter buttons. The list of functions is as follows, for details and examples, see Point Cloud Display.

Icon Display Parameters Function Description
icon-PointCloudColor Color Select point cloud display color (white/black/custom color/pixel color/heatmap color/pseudo color).
icon-BackgroundColor Background Select the background color of the Display Area (white/black/custom).
icon-AuxiliaryDisplay Visible Content Options for auxiliary view of point cloud distribution (coordinate system/customer coordinate system/plane/normal vector/data range/rotation center).
icon-View View Toggle the point cloud display view (front/rear/left/right/top/bottom/reset).
icon-PointSize Point Size Zoom the size of the individual points displayed in the point cloud view.
icon-DataRange Data Range Set the range of the point cloud, the range of the heatmap display, and update the point cloud after setting.
icon-Measure Measure You can select points from the point cloud to complete a simple measurement.

Parameter Setting Area

The Parameter Setting area can view and modify the current capture parameters. The adjustable parameter type and value range are related to the scanner model, software version, camera mode and capture mode, subject to the interface display. When you need to modify the parameter value, click the value box and drag to size the value, or double-click the value box to enter the value directly. See Parameter Settings for the parameter description and function demonstration.

Data List Area

The Data List area allows you to view frame data information, which is categorized into current frame, cached frames, and offline frames.

Type Function
Current Frame Displays the frame data of the most recent recording, including the capturing time and frame type (2D frame or 3D frame).
Cache Frames Data captured online can be saved as a cache frame, which contains the complete frame data and capture parameter information.
Offline Frames Displays imported data, including file path and file type. If the file path is too long, it will be omitted with "***". Importing offline point cloud will add a new data in the list, select the corresponding data to display the corresponding offline frame information.
