How to Use the Scan Data Functionality

 Using Rectangular area and Polygonal area step-by-step

Preparation

  1. Create a new project and import the necessary control points.
  2.  Connect the MS60 to the iCON field software.
  3.  Set up the instrument.
  4.  Go to the desired application in iCON.

Scanning process

  1. In the current application, select Grid & Scan from the toolbox.
  2.  Tap the desired method to start the wizard for this method.
    Bandscan is only available for MS60+
  3.  Level the instrument: Tap next wizard step to proceed.
  4. Define the scan area depending on the selected method. Follow the instructions on the screen. 
    • Rectangular area: Measure two points to define the upper left and lower right corner of a rectangular area.
     • Polygonal area: Measure at least three points to define a polygonal area. 
              Tap next wizard step to proceed.
  5. Measure the centre point of the object to be scanned. Tap next wizard step to proceed.
  6. By default, the recommended point spacing is active. If desired, choose another resolution:  • Low - Earthworks
     • Mid - Floor Flatness, Walls
     • High - Tubes, Stairs, MEP, GHV[High]
     • User defined resolution:
     Enter the desired values for the horizontal and vertical point
     spacing.
     • Only for MS60+:
      By default, the recommended scan speed is selected. If desired,
     choose another scan speed to reduce the scanning time.----
     1000 points per second
     2000 points per second
     4000 points per second
     8000 points per second
     Changing the scan speed manually might influence the quality of
     the scan result.
    Tap next wizard step  to proceed.
  7.  • If desired, edit the name of the scan data, enter a description and define a colour for the scan points.
     • Select the storing location. If the estimated scan data is bigger than the available storage
     place, an error message is displayed. To continue, select a different storage location with enough space.
    Tap  to continue. Map view is displayed.
  8.  To start the scanning process, tap Start. ↪  To pause the scanning process, tap Pause.
    ↪  To cancel the scanning process, tap .

    ↪ If the connected instrument becomes unlevelled during scanning, an
     error message is displayed.
     Level the instrument and tap  to restart the scanning process,
     beginning at the first defined scan point.

  9. Tap to finish the scanning process. 
    ↪ The generated point grid can be used to verify data in the Verification application. Refer to 9.3 How to Use Verification .

  2. Tap Bandscan to start the wizard for this method.
  3. Level the instrument.
     Tap next wizard step to proceed.
  4. Measure two points to define a vertical stripe. Tap next wizard step to proceed.
  5. Follow the instructions on the screen and measure the upper vertical angle of the scan area.
  6. Aim the instrument at the lower vertical angel of the scan area and tap Measure again.
  7.  Measure the centre point of the object to be scanned.
    The Point spacing page is displayed.

  8.  By default, the recommended point spacing is active. If desired,
