Scanning functionality
The Grid & Scan tool offers two scanning methods for creating point clouds.
Scan
This scanning method allows you to create large point clouds that can be used for verification and inspection of as-built objects (refer to 9.3 How to Use Verification ). Connect the iCON software to the MS60 to use it as a scanner.
Precise Grid Scan/Quick Grid Scan
These scanning methods allow you to create small point clouds that can be used especially for verification and inspection of surfaces, such as floors or walls (refer to 9.3 How to Use Verification).
Connect the iCON software to an iCR or iCT. Define an area and a scan grid.
The software calculates the points to be measured.
↪ When connected to an iCR or iCT, the software automatically lays out the grid points, and measures and stores them after reaching the tolerances.
Requirements
• An MS60 scanner or an iCR/iCT device is connected to iCON.
Availability of scanning methods
Depending on which device is connected to the software, the availability of
scanning methods differs.

Definition of scan area depending on scan method
Rectangular scan area
When using a scanning method based on a rectangular area, it is necessary to define two points. The first point defines the start point of the baseline and the second point defines the width of the scan area. 
Polygonal scan area
When using a scanning method based on a polygonal area, it is necessary to define at least three points. The first and second points define the baseline of the polygonal scan area. The polygon is closed from the third point on, and every new point creates another corner of the polygon.
