Python - get sensor tilt and live picture

[[Ma...]]

Hi,

perhaps due my ignorance i can not set correct exposure times for each scan. I thought project template will have stored those values for each individual scan serie.
So to help my colleagues i want to create a wizard which will have needed part alignment on a table and current tilt of a sensor according to the floor.

For now i am able to obtain tilt information only from measured scan, which can be also used in picture in dialog.
By recording i know how to setup exposure times and run individual / rotary table scans.

Is there a way to obtain current live image with ability to see actual tilt and changes in exposure times?

My intent is do some sort of kios mode, where in one project i can scan parts from different materials ( thats for exposure times ), ability to manually select points to remove scanned points under a plane and control tilt of a sensors to keep correct view into problematic parts.

 

Thanks for any hints.

Hi Martin,

i don`t have the answer, but maybe an idea where you could extract the information.

Part of the Scanport app is a calibration program. This program checks live different things among them the sensor angle to the calibration plate.

So you should find your answer there.

Thanks, i'll try this method - never thought about that. Good point 👍

The calibration position check is not part of the scan port app, it is hard coded in the application.

I do not know of any token or script command that can deliver the current sensor pose (like tilt etc.) from the "live video".

Good to know.

Shouldnt theoretically the "hard coded funcionality" be accessible with a python script, if the scanport app can use it?

The scanport app just knows the next nominal calibration position and displays it in its window (left part in the screenshots from above). 

The right part of the screenshots from above (with the actual live position information) comes from the calibration function inside the "setup workspace", which is not part of the app.

Ok thanks for clarifying.

Had the purly theoretical thought that there might be an interface the app is pulling the info from, that could be used.

Hi,

the exposure information can be obtained as follows:
 

gom.script.atos.set_parameters_for_new_measurements (automatic_exposure_time_mode='no_exposure_time_computation')
gom.script.atos.use_automatic_exposure_time_once_matrix()

automatic_exposure_time_mode = gom.app.project.automatic_exposure_time_mode
num_of_exposures = gom.app.project.number_of_exposure_times
measurement_exposure_times = list(gom.app.project.current_measurement_exposure_times)
reference_point_exposure_times=[gom.app.project.current_reference_point_exposure_time]
print ("automatic_exposure_time_mode = ", automatic_exposure_time_mode)
print ("num_of_exposures = ", num_of_exposures)
print ("measurement_exposure_times = ", measurement_exposure_times)
print ("reference_point_exposure_times = ", reference_point_exposure_times)

Best regards,
