Post by shollinger70 »

is there an internal calibration or check that can be preformed after shipping?

I was under the impression that with the P series of scanners you can do a face left, face right check against a target but not a calibration as such.

There is a check you can do on boot up (compensator), plus the face left and face right checks also. If you want to go the whole hog, you can perform a full check and adjust (but you need a high target (~18m) for one of the checks).

best / easiest check is the compensator check. I think it is check and adjust tilt sensor in the menu. Make sure scanner is perfectly level and on solid ground without anything moving around.

thanks, we have shipped the scanner quite a few times without issue, seems this last time it got a rough ride. I did the tilt compensator/calibration. Going to test today. Thanks again for the help

We do the check everytime we travel (every week, if not more often). If the values come back close to 1 we just leave it alone, but often they will come back higher and we can use the results of the test to get a more accurate survey.
