File – Import – Digitizer – One Scan (When VIVID 9i is Selected)

Performing One Scan with the VIVID 9i

This command is used to cause the VIVID 9i (VI-9i) to scan the object one scan at a time using the remote

control function of this software. Registration of multiple scan data can be performed by manually designating

their corresponding points.

Once registration is complete, the data can be saved together with the coordinate conversion parameters pro-

vided for registration as a single data ﬁle (CDK). The data is then registrated and three-dimensionalized based

upon the saved coordinate conversion parameters using the File-Import commands.

Warning

Never stare into the laser emitting window.

Do not place a lens, mirror or optical element in the passage of the laser beam. Doing so may converge the

laser beam, resulting in damage to your eyes, burns or ﬁre. To prevent the above accidents, make sure that a

wall or similar which can block the laser beam is located behind the object.

Registration with 1 pair of corresponding points must be

Since registration may not be performed successfully for

objects with non-characteristic shape (e.g. ﬂat planes, cy-

is recommended

registration will be performed each time 3 or

Performing Step Scan with the VIVID 9i

This command is used to cause the VIVID 9i to make multiple shots of the object by controlling the rotary

stage remotely from this software. Registration of multiple scan data can be performed using the Calibration

Chart for extract center of rotation.

Once registration is complete, the data can be saved together with the coordinate conversion parameters pr

vided for registration as a single data ﬁle (CDK). The data is then registrated and three-dimensionalized based

upon the saved coordinate conversion parameters using the File-Import commands.

Warning

Never stare into the laser emitting window.

Do not place a lens, mirror or optical element in the passage of the laser beam. Doing so may converge the

laser beam, resulting in damage to your eyes, burns or ﬁre. To prevent the above accidents, make sure that a

wall or similar which can block the laser beam is located behind the object.

Performing Step Scan with the VIVID 910

This command is used to cause the VIVID 910 (VI-910) to make multiple shots of the object by controlling

the rotary stage remotely from this software. Registration of multiple scan data can be performed using the Calibra-

tion Chart for extract center of rotation.

Warning

Never stare into the laser emitting window.

Do not place a lens, mirror or optical element in the passage of the laser beam. Doing so may converge the

laser beam, resulting in damage to your eyes, burns or ﬁre. To prevent the above accidents, make sure that a

wall or similar which can block the laser beam is located behind the object.

File – Import – Digitizer – One Scan (When VIVID 900/910 is Selected)

Performing One Scan with the VIVID 910 or VIVID 900

This command is used to cause the VIVID 910 (VI-910) or VIVID 900 (VI-900) to scan the object one scan at

a time using the remote control function of this software. If a rotating stage has been selected, rotation of the

stage can also be controlled.

Warning

Never stare into the laser emitting window.

Do not place a lens, mirror or optical element in the passage of the laser beam. Doing so may converge the

laser beam, resulting in damage to your eyes, burns or ﬁre. To prevent the above accidents, make sure that a

wall or similar which can block the laser beam is located behind the object.

Note

Memo

If the rotating stage does not operate correctly from the

dialog box, turn OFF the stage, turn it ON again, and

then try to operate it.

Performing Step Scan with the VIVID 910 or VIVID 900

This command is used to take two or more shots using the rotating stage via the remote control function of this

quired from different angles will be subjected to registration, and the resulting data will appear.

Warning

Never stare into the laser emitting window.

Do not place a lens, mirror or optical element in the passage of the laser beam. Doing so may converge the
