2013 RS1 Scan speed

Any one else have trouble with the speed of the RS1 in 2013?

I have found that once you start to get a few million scan points, the scan speed vastly slows down. The beeps that the RS1 makes as it is taking points has slowed down to a beep every 15-20 seconds......and no points being scanned.

Has anyone else ran into this?

  • As the product owner of Pointcloud, I can confirm this. In 2013Mr1 the pointcloud engine has been replaced to the 3DReshaper engine. This change will take advantage of the mutlithreading possibilities which we hadn't with the previous COPLIB dll. The integration of this engine in pcdmis has a few side effects. The biggest one you are explaining here, that it seems as pcdmis is not collecting enough points. In reality it is the Graphic window which is trying to update and can't follow all of this data. A simple test can be done to prove this: Close your Graphic window while scanning and once you reopened this, you will see that all points are available and there is no loss of points. In the mean time we have been working on this issue and in version 2014 it is completely resolved. Unfortunately because of major changes in the code, we can't just move this solution to the previous 2013 MR1 version.
