Once Zebra 3S has been mounted, powered, and found on your network, you should use Aurora Capture Works to ensure that the object being scanned falls within the 3D sensor's specific scanning volume. Each sensor has a specific scanning volume, and calibration accuracy can only be guaranteed inside this specific scanning volume. The ideal position within the specific scanning volume is referred to as the sweet spot, and is illustrated in the image below:

You might need to fine tune the placement of the 3D sensor relative to the object that you need to scan. For example, you might need to increase or decrease the distance between the 3D sensor and the object so that the base line and the highest points fall in the available Z-range. It is recommended to make these adjustments while Aurora Capture Works is running so that you can see the effects of the adjustment.
Ensure that you have adjusted Zebra 3S to properly account for the objects that you will scan before you begin full-time operation. Although Zebra 3S should be able to scan 3D data right out of the box with the default settings, if you find that after mounting and adjusting the 3D sensor you are still not able to see the laser line, you might need to adjust the exposure or other controls.
