Installing software and drivers
Connect USB disk with RangeVision logo to your PC and launch RangeVision ScanCenter setup

6
Following the tips, choose the language, type and the path of installation. After copying the files
install drivers and graphic libraries, which are necessary for correct functioning of RangeVision 3D scanner.
After the setup on the desktop should appear RangeVision programs: ScanCenter, ScanMerge and IDS
Camera Manager.
Setting up your computer for the work with the scanner
For correct functioning of 3D scanner it is necessary to adjust your computer. This procedure is executed
once before the first use of the scanner.
Connecting projector
After connection the projector will be displayed in the system.
If the computer has several video output you should define the needed one.

7
Note
If the second monitor (projector) wasn`t recognized by the system –check cable
connection and restart the computer.
You can also connect the cable to computer with switched on projector if it was off.
●After clicking by the right button on the desktop, choose screen resolution
●Choose in the list –Screen , or by clicking number 2, 2nd monitor.
●Choose Extend these screens choose in the popup Several screens.
UAC Setting
For more comfortable work with scanning program it`s advisable to change account settings.
For this purpose enter Control panel- User accounts- Change user accounts control settings.
Put the slider maximally down and save the changes.

Connecting cameras
After installing camera drivers at the desktop of your computer there should appear IDS camera
Manager. Do not connect cameras before installing drivers! Connect cameras to USB-ports of the computer
and launch IDS Camera Manager.
The application will show connected cameras and their state. Both cameras must be available. If
one of the cameras is busy, check any third-party software that can make use of it, for example, Skype.
Switch off the programs, using web-cameras and check the accessibility of cameras to IDS.
Go to the menu "Additional functions" and put check-mark in front of "Idle state": Disable. As it`s
shown on the picture.

Connecting the turn table
Before scanning on turn table it`s necessary to install table driver, to plug it in and to connect the table
with the computer via USB-cable.
Scanner may be equipped with different types of turn tables, with additional power supply or without it,
and depending on the controller, the name of the connected device can be different, for example Silicon
Labs, Arduino Uno, Rangevision Table and so on.
