### Setting the Machine Speed for Scanning

To properly define your machine's speed for scanning with your laser, you need to do the following:

- VHSS must be supported by your controller. PC-DMIS uses this high speed mode by default when supported by the CMM.

- The ScanSpeed registry entry, found in the Leitz section of the PC-DMIS Settings Editor, limits the maximum scan speed value that you can send to the controller. By default, this is set to 50 mm/sec. Any value set by a SCANSPEED/ Edit window command is limited to the value of the ScanSpeed registry entry. This value can be increased accordingly the CMM limits.

- By default, PC-DMIS's Acceleration value, located in the Opt. Probe tab of the Parameter Settings dialog box, is set very low (10 mm/sec). To get higher scan speeds, you should increase this value to a desired value up to the limits allowed by your machine. To access this tab, select the Edit | Preferences | Parameters menu item and then click on the | Opt. Probe tab.
