▸ If required, log in using default password in the tablet PC: sicksick

2.1 Capture Point Cloud
Prerequisites:
▸ Freestyle sensor connected with the tablet PC.
▸ Status on bottom left of tablet PC states “Ready to Scan”.
Click (press and release) Freestyle button to start a new scan.
Refer to the image on the next page. The left part of the screen will display point cloud as it is captured and the right side displays the video.
Initial few scans are changed to red color points, which in the overall
point cloud appear as a red dot as shown in the next image. With some
training, an operator can point the sensor precisely to the object to be
dimensioned using this red dot, which helps the system identify which
object to process.
Note that the point cloud viewer on the left can be rotated as desired
using nger swiping to inspect the object just captured.
