Configuration
Advanced Settings
The APS user interface can be used to configure advanced system
settings to enhance performance and positional accuracy in an
installed location. Adjusting the default settings can also help the
operator if problems are being experienced during basic operation.
Landmark Settings
The following parameters used by the APS scanner when scanning for
reflective targets in the landmark map can be changed:
Action Radius - The APS scanner can detect targets between a
minimum distance of 0.5 m and a maximum distance of 70 m from the
laser scanner head. However, in some installations it may not be
desirable or necessary to detect targets in such a large field of view, so
the range can be reduced to suit the studio size.
N closest reflectors - This parameter limits the number of targets the
APS scanner uses during scanning, starting with the closest targets
first. This can help to improve accuracy because only the closest
targets in the map will be scanned. The default setting is 0, which is a
special case allowing all available targets to be detected. A minimum
detection of three targets is required for the APS scanner to produce
positional information.
Reflector Threshold - This parameter changes the sensitivity of the
APS scanner when detecting targets. If the APS scanner is interpreting
other reflective surfaces in the studio as targets, the threshold
percentage can be increased to help minimise the effect of false
readings on system performance.
1. Click to select the Landmark Detection link from any page in the
APS user interface.
2. On the landmark detection page the following detection
parameters can be adjusted:
CAUTION! Only competent trained personnel should make
changes to setup options or parameters using the APS user
interface. Changing these settings could affect the reliability
of the system.
Note
If the APS system is performing accurately and
consistently, there is no need to change any default
settings.
Defaults
To restore the APS scanner to the factory default settings,
see Default Settings on page 17 in the Troubleshooting
section. Increase the
minimum, or
decrease the
maximum field
values. The APS
scanner will then
only detect
targets within the
reduced range
Set a value to limit
the number of
targets the
scanner will detect
(closest only)
