# This is a carriage system using 10 X2 scanners.  
# There are 2 scanners located under the operator cabin and 8 hung on a frame from the ceiling.
# The two under the carriage are closer to the carriage than the ones on the frame.

# Zones are used for visualizing data from groups of scanners in JSDiag.
# Zones don't affect scanner functionality.
#
# Multi-laser scanners use a "Scanner.Laser" notation to describe the scanner, then the laser.
# "0.1" Means scanner 0, laser 1.

# This means they all "trigger" on the same location, but space their exposures out by time instead of location
# A phase lasts as long as the longest MaxLaserOn value of the scanners in that phase.
# In this example, each phase contains lasers with a MaxLaserOn of 2.0 milliseconds, so an entire scan will
# take 2.0 ms for the first phase, 2.0 ms for the second, and 2.0 ms for the third.
