selected rst when the dialog box is opened. It is possible to select the desired angle by clicking
the angle currently displayed in [Current Angle] and selecting the desired angle from the pull-

If this checkbox is checked, the lower section of the [Remote-Step Scan] dialog box will be active,
allowing you to set various parameters including [Distance], [Laser Intensity] and [Auto read].
Manual
If this checkbox is checked, the [Distance] and [Laser Intensity] parameters can be set.
Distance
Used to set the VIVID’s scan reference position.
Laser Intensity

Auto read
If this checkbox is checked, a color image will be read automatically when the dialog box is
opened. Even if the [Read] button is not clicked after the [Scan] button is clicked, the data will be
read automatically after images are acquired, and the color image and range image will be dis-
played in the dialog box. If there is no check mark in the [Option] checkbox, for instance when the
software is just started up, the [Auto read] checkbox will be checked automatically.
