Remarks

There are a number of instrument specific variations for this command:

 

 

Laser Radar:

When using the laser radar the Parameter Set Name should be used to set the desired target definition. Select from the available targets defined for use with a perimeter such as Open or Closed Metrology or Vision Scans.

 

 

Laser Trackers:

Leica ATS600

When using the Leica ATS600 the scan resolution can be set using a string in the Parameter Set Name field. Use the Dialog entry method in [A2] for more clarity or specify a string directly as follows:

Room Scanners:

Surphaser

Region scans can be accomplished with both Configure and Measure and Scan within Perimeter. The saved Parameter Set specifies naming and resolution for a scan as well as target extraction. But in Configure and Measure the saved region definition is used to define the scan extents, where as Scan within Perimeter ignores the saved region in preference for the specified perimeter defined in the command. *See notes on zeroing azimuth in the Quickstart Guide.
