Best scan selection

So, I am very new to the idea of scanning, worse yet I will be learning how to set it up in an offline seat. Not that I have an issue with this, but I've always heard scanning at the machine is much easier. Any who:

Any suggestions on what type of scan would allow me to make 1 continuous scan of this set of features? I've run through the whole list, and I really don't want to be "stitching" an awful lot of linear open scans together to do it. But if thats all I can do, I'd rather just find out about it now than waste anymore time trying to get something to work.

Thanks

  • Matt, excellent advice, and I just got the whole area coated from 1 effort using linear open scan. But it leaves me with a question. I know I've read you posting about these items a few times already as before posting this I read other peoples questions with scanning.
    With respect to Exec Controls: Why 'RE-LEARN' as opposed to 'DEFINED'?

    I suppose I am biased with re-learn because it wreaks havoc in our validation system, but if re-learn was used in the first run, could it then be swapped back to defined after and still run the same?

    Just as an fyi, we use SP25 technology on our PC-Dmis software cmms


    RE-LEARN is only used for SCANNING PROBES (continuous contact or laser). If you do NOT use re-learn, then it turns into a touch trigger type scan, even with the scanning probes, it will NOT make the smooth, continuous contact scan anymore, but individual points, like you get from a touch trigger probe. If you have a touch trigger probe, you do NOT use re-learn.
