Empty Status Settings

Min Point Count in 3D ROI
Default setting: 0
Description: Adjust the minimum number of the points extracted in the 3D ROI. If the number of points extracted in the 3D ROI is less than this value, no point cloud will be returned.
Send Empty Status of Points in 3D ROI
Default setting: Select
Instruction: Select to send the empty status of points in 3D ROI. By default, if the number of points in the 3D ROI is less than the set value of Min Points Number in 3D ROI, a mesage as shown below will appear in the Step.
