Scan Management

Scan Management is handled by the Scan Manager control or by the Scan settings group in the Basic Mode Main Controls window.

Scan Types

Linear

A linear scan is a simple 2-axis scan where one axis moves along a scan line, and the other steps a small amount each line, thus creating a rectangular raster scan image. A linear scan works with any two pairs of axes in a system (including Turntables/Rotators).

Linear MultiStep (ODIS-NDT only)

A linear MultiStep scan is where a scan axis moves in a linear path, but multiple axes may be involved in the step motion. For example, scanning up a wedge shape involves a single scan axis (X) but multiple step axes (Y and Z).

The path for the step motion can be defined either with a contour or defining the shape of the part using the "Define Part" option.
