In this latest tutorial, Frank, one of our experts, walks you through the Control Scan method — an essential technique for ensuring accurate and repeatable scan results with every OKM Detector.

Whether you’re new to scanning or an experienced user, Frank’s step-by-step guide will help you get the most out of your OKM equipment, providing valuable insights on how to improve your scan consistency and precision.


What’s Covered in the Video?

Frank begins by explaining the importance of the Control Scan technique, a vital method to ensure that your scans are not only accurate but also consistent and repeatable. He emphasizes how this approach can improve your data quality and make your results more reliable. Frank then demonstrates how to properly set up your scan area, highlighting the importance of maintaining a steady pace and proper positioning of the equipment to avoid errors during the scan.

The tutorial is structured in multiple stages to give you a comprehensive understanding of the process. Frank starts with the first scan, making sure the entire scan area is covered effectively. He then performs the same scan again to check for consistency, ensuring that there are no discrepancies between the two results. To further enhance the precision, Frank completes a third scan at a 90° angle to the previous ones. This method ensures a full and thorough capture of the target area, increasing the accuracy of the overall scan data.

Once the scans are complete, Frank shows you how to transfer the data from the eXp 5500 Pro to your computer. He explains how to use the Visualizer 3D Studio to analyze the scan data, allowing you to compare the results, verify consistency, and ensure the data is accurate. This step is crucial in making sure that the scans match up and that you can rely on the data for further analysis or decision-making.
