FARO® Laser Scanner Focus3D X 130 ManualJanuary 201446Chapter 5: Getting StartedSelecting the Sensors(Home > Parameters > Select Sensors)Use Inclinometer - Enable or disable the automatic use of the inclinationmeasurement of the built-in dual axis compensator (inclinometer) for the scanregistration in SCENE. However, regardless of your setting, the data of thissensor is always measured and attached to each scan. If the use of theinclinometer data is switched ON, it will automatically be used to register thescans in SCENE; if it is switched off, the data will be ignored. You can stillchange this behavior later in SCENE. See the SCENE manual for moreinformation on this. P LEASE NOTE: To get the most reliable data from the dualaxis compensator, make sure that the scanner‘s inclination is less than 5°. Formore information, see “Inclinometer (Dual Axis Compensator)” on page 96.Use Compass - Enable or disable the automatic use of the data of the built-incompass for the scan registration in SCENE. Just like with the inclinometer, thedata of the compass is always measured and attached to each scan duringscanning and will automatically be used for the scan registration, if this button isswitched to ON. For more information, see “Compass” on page 97.Use Altimeter - Enable or disable the automatic use of the altimeter data for thescan registration in SCENE. Just like with the inclinometer, the data of thealtimeter is always measured and attached to each scan during scanning and willautomatically be used for the scan registration, if this button is switched to ON.You may want to enter a reference height beforJanuary 2014e starting your scanproject. This reference height will then act as basis for all the measurementsmade by the altimeter. You will find the altimeter settings under Home > Manage> Sensors > Altimeter. For more information, see “Altimeter” on page 99.Figure 5-20 Selecting the Sensors
