Data Viewer

Data Viewer can be used to display the acquired data, adjust feature regions, and view the data processed by each Step, such as profile, planes, feature points, and distance.

You can use Data Viewer only after Debug Output is enabled in the graphical programming workspace.

The following figure shows the interface of the data viewer. The usage of each feature is introduced below.

  • Click data viewer profile to switch to the profile mode and view the data on the XOZ plane. Profiles are usually processed in this view.

Switch the Point Cloud Mode (②)

Use the following icons to switch the point cloud mode:

  • Click data viewer depth single color to switch to the Monochrome point cloud.

  • Click data viewer depth color to switch to the Color point cloud.

  • Click data viewer depth gray to switch to the Grayscale point cloud.

Switch the Intensity Image Mode (③)

Use the following icons to switch the intensity image mode:

  • Click data viewer intensity to switch to the intensity image.

  • Click data viewer intensity color to switch to the Color intensity image.

Point Cloud Setting (④)

This feature is only available in the developer mode. In the menu bar, from Settings  Options , select Developer mode in the Common tab, and then click OK to close the window. This setting will take effect once the software has been restarted.

  1. Click Point Cloud Setting.

  2. In the pop-up window, you can adjust the depth range of the color rendering to conveniently observe the depth variation of the data within a certain range.

  • Auto is selected by default, namely that the software automatically adjusts the color rendering according to the depth range of the obtained data.

  • Once Auto is unselected, you can adjust the ends of the slider to set the minimum and maximum depth values to set the depth range of the data for color rendering. When the depth value of a data point is outside this range, the color of the point will be rendered as the color corresponding to the minimum or maximum value.

Adjust View (⑤)

Use the following buttons or shortcuts to adjust the view:
