Introduction

Congratulations for the purchase of TMS ScanControl.

TMS ScanControl is the system control software for Leica HDS, Z+F Imager and Amberg

Profiler 5003 scanners. It is required for data acquisition in the field.

1. Supported instruments

TMS ScanControl supports the following measuring devices:

• Leica HDS6000/6100/7000 (min. firmware version 7.5)

• Z+F Imager 5006/5010 (min. firmware version 7.5)

• Amberg Profiler 5003 (min. firmware version 7.5)

• FARO Focus 3D

Note

Before shipment the Panasonic CF notebook is configured to optimize the data collection

with scanner device. Do not install other software on the notebook or change notebook

settings.

3.2. Software installation

3.2.1. Latest software release

TMS ScanControl is a module within TMS Office. You may download the latest software release

of TMS Office on our home page http://www.amberg.ch/at

3.2.2. Installation

The installation of TMS ScanControl is included in the installation of TMS Office. A separate

start icon will be created on the desktop to have a quick entry into the measuring interface.

The TMS Office program is supplied in a compressed form and can be used only after it has

been installed on the hard-disk.

The procedure is as follows:

1. Insert the CD-ROM

2. A menu is automatically loaded and displayed. Select from here "Install TMS Office".

3. If the menu is not loaded automatically, double-click on the file Autorun.exe on the CD-

ROM.

4. If you have downloaded the program from the Internet, unzip the file to an empty directory

and double-click on the file Setup.exe.

5. Follow the instructions during the installation.

When you have a full license of the software, you must additionally install the dongle and the

drivers for the dongle.

3.2.3. De-Installation

Use the function "De-Installation" to remove the software from your operating system.

Please note, only files that are unmodified, can be un-installed. Therefore demo data files will

not be un-installed automatically. You will need to delete them manually (e.g. with MS Explorer).

Chapter 1. Introduction to TMS

ScanControl

TMS ScanControl contains the functions for successful data acquisition with the systems Leica

HDS, Z+F Imager, Amberg Profiler 5003 and FARO Focus 3D.

The software is optimized for field work. All important functions for the measurements can be

executed by specific icons on the touch screen. Within TMS ScanControl the measuring pro-

cedure follows the concept of the Amberg Positioning Method (APM).

1.1. User Interface

Figure 1.1. User Interface

The screen view is made up of different sections:

• Status information

• Operation buttons

• Output window

1.2. Status information

Current status is shown. Follow the instructions on the screen to make sure that the positioning

procedure is done correctly.

Note

To change the view in the window press CTRL+A. This will provide information required

during trouble shooting and to check release numbers of the software and firmware.

Chapter 2. Working with Leica HDS, Z+F

Imager or Amberg Profiler

2.1. Start-up procedure

To start a measurement follow the steps below:

• Setup the scanner system on the tripod and connect all cables.

• Level the scanner by using the tribrach.

• Setup the sphere prism in a distance of approximately 10m (depending on the scan resolu-

tion).

• Check that the cables are not tangled up.

• Start the notebook.

• Start TMS ScanControl by double-clicking on the corresponding desktop icon.

• The software will automatically communicate with the scanner. If the scanner was not re-

cognized, check the network connection between the notebook and the scanner.

• Select one of the available scanning resolutions.

• Set a new scanner position.

• Set face one position and measure the prism on top of the scanner.

• Start the scanner. While scanning measure the sphere prism with the total station.

• Set face two position and measure the prism on top of the scanner.

• Finish scan.

• Close image after a quick check.

2.2. Data transmission

In order to be able to use the Leica HDS, Z+F Imager or Amberg Profiler 5003, the connection

has to be set. Choose File »Options »Scanner... in TMS Office. The dialogue below will be

opened. In TMS ScanControl you can only reach this dialogue, if the Scanner Measurement

window is closed. So if you start TMS ScanControl and you haven't already done the setting

in TMS Office, you must first close the Scanner Measurement window and then open the

dialogue.

TMS ScanControl User guide

Figure 2.1. Scanner setting

Activate the option Use and input the IP-address of the scanner. This IP-address you can find

on the display of the Leica HDS, Z+F Imager or Amberg Profiler 5003 after the start-up of the

system.

2.3. Prism on Scanner

In order to be able to use the Amberg Positioning Method for the positioning of the scanner, a

prism is needed on top of the scanner. There is a certain prism adapter that can be mounted

on the housing of the scanner. Take care that the prism is mounted on the side where the

display is installed. This is important for the determination of the orientation of the system.

2.4. Setup dialog

Press the following button or choose ScanControl » Setup to open the setup dialog.

Figure 2.2. Setup button

Relevant parameters are set in this dialog.
