Save Data
You can save the acquired 2D image, depth map, point cloud, and the virtual device file.
Save Acquired Data
You can save the acquired 2D image, depth map, and point cloud to local manually or automatically.
Please follow these steps to save acquired data:
-
In the data display area, select Manual save or Auto save from the drop-down list.
If Auto save is selected, the software automatically enables the data save switch. After data acquisition starts, the software automatically saves the acquired data.
