#### Gain (for CMS Sensors)

Gain list

CMS sensors provide you with an additional list called Gain which is added onto the Laser Scan Properties tab of the Probe Toolbox. This lets you choose between two sensitivity modes:

- NORMAL sensitivity - This is the default sensor mode and should be used on most normal parts. In this mode the QUALITY FILTER toggle field in the Edit window's Command mode is automatically set to ON, showing associated fields in the Edit window, and the Quality Filter icon disappears.

- HIGH sensitivity - The HIGH sensitivity mode becomes available for selection if you are in online mode. You should only use the HIGH sensitivity mode if you are scanning a part comprised of a troublesome material where the NORMAL sensitivity mode returns poor data. For example, a part that absorbs too much light because it has glossy, dark, or black surfaces may require this type of mode. However, note that scanning a normal part in HIGH sensitivity mode may yield bad results.

In HIGH mode a Quality Filter icon appears next to the Gain list:
If the Quality Filter mode is used, it filters low quality points including double reflections, poor quality data on edges, and outliers. This icon functions the same as manually switching the QUALITY FILTER toggle field to either ON or OFF in the Edit window's Command mode, thereby letting you show or hide associated fields in the Edit window.
