Installingsoftwareanddrivers
GettheRаngeVisiоnsoftware(equippedwiththescanner)andruntheinstaller
RаngeVisiоnSсаnCentersetup.
Following the prompts, select the desired language, type and path for installation.
After the files have been copied install drivers and graphics libraries, necessary for
the correct operation of RangeVision 3D scanner.
IfyouhaveaccesstotheInternetRangeVisionScanCenterNGwillautomatically
notifyyouwhenupdatesareavailable.Youcancheckforupdatesmanuallyby

Settingupyourcomputerforworkwiththe scanner
ForthecorrectoperationofRаngevisiоn3Dscanneryouwillneedtosetupyour
computer. Thisprocedureisperformedoncebeforethefirstuseofthescanner.
Connectingprojector
First, connect the USB to power up the projector and then connect it to the HDMI-port of
your video card. After connecting the projector, it should be displayed in the system. If
the computer has several video outputs, define the one to be used.
1. Right click on the desktop, select Screen resolution.
2. Make sure that the projector has been successfully recognized by the system
and that both connected screens are displayed.

Configuring computer parameters
Toavoidarecurrenceoftheproblemsduringthescanneroperation,youmustturn
offthescreensaverandsleepmode.
Go toScreen Saver Settings menu and turn off the screen saver, disable turning off the
display and putting the computer in sleep mode.

Scannerassembly
1. Installthescanningmoduleontothetripod.
2. ConnectUSBcabletoyourPC.
3. ConnectHDMIcabletoyourPC.
4. When using the turntable, connect it to the power source, then connect the USB
cable to your PC and turn the table on using the power switch.

Calibratingthescanner
Youneedtoperformcalibrationinordertoensuretheworkofthescannerafter the
adjustment of lenses.Specificallyforthispurposeweusethecalibration plate, which is
pre-measured withhighaccuracy.Scanningsoftwareanalyzestheimage of the plate,
obtained from thecamerasandcomparesitwiththemathematical model, marked by
the algorithm.
Thereare3typesofcalibration:Fullcalibration,automaticcalibration,fast calibration
(orientation) and Calibration ofturntable(findingthetableaxis).
Full and automatic calibrations are used:
●before work with the scanner,
●after transporting the scanner.
Fast calibration is used:
●if you suspect that the camera moved due to unreliable mounting,
●if you want to check the accuracy of performed calibration.
Calibration of rotary table is performed:
●in case of any change in the position of the rotary table to the scanner
(when scanning on the turntable).
Calibration of rotary table is described in the Scanning on the turntable section.
Calibrationplate
Calibration plate is a special plate with markers, the distance between which is
measured with high accuracy. It is used for setting up a scanner and its calibration.
