When scanning parameters can be changed on AlphaScan S1

Knowledge Overview Definition

In the AlphaScan S1 scanning parameters, shutter controls camera exposure and can be adjusted in real time while scanning surfaces of different materials.

Shutter and laser-mode controls

In the AlphaScan S1 scanning parameters, shutter controls camera exposure and can be adjusted in real time while scanning surfaces of different materials.

The laser-mode control offers single-line, seven-line and cross-line modes, and the mode can be switched during scanning.

During scanning, while paused and outside a scan

Within the scanning-parameter panel, shutter and laser mode are the only parameters that can be changed while scanning is in progress.

The add-marker setting can be changed when scanning is paused.

The other scanning parameters must be set before scanning begins or after it has ended.
