FARO Scanner Settings for VTube-LASER

This is a guide for FARO scanner setup with VTube-LASER.

Results from Extensive Research

VTube-LASER has sophisticated analysis tools (like DCP - Dual Cylinder Fit) that can tell if the incoming data is reasonably good. Because of these built-in tools, we have discovered some useful operating principles for best practices in FARO scanner setup.

The information on this page is the result of our research into how best to scan and calculate tube cylinders. The principles here probably apply to other shapes as well - but we know for sure that they apply to measuring at least cylindrical shaped surfaces.

Exposure Settings

The diagram on the right shows the workable exposure settings that are acceptable with the FARO scanners when measuring tube shape. In some cases the older version scanners can use AUTOMATIC modes, but the cylinder calculation is not as reliable in these modes.
