Units

Value Range:Millimeters or Inches
Default Value:Inches
Location:Global
Min. Firmware Required.1917

This parameter determines the units that will be used by the scan heads. The Scan Windows and Calibration Fixtures will use the units set here. The data in profiles will either be returned in 1000th or of an inch, or micrometer units, depending on this setting.

 

 

The following two example parameter files are equivalent, but expressed in different units:
