SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSISTING CUSTOMERS IN SELECTING COMPONENTSFOR OPTICAL SCANNER SYSTEMS.

摘要

A system is disclosed for selecting and evaluating a plurality of optical scanning components assembled together in a virtual system. The system provides a selection screen displaying a plurality of optical scanning components which may be virtually assembled into a one, two or three-dimensional optical scanning system by computer modeling. The computer model provides a user interactive program to simulate the operation of the scanning system utilizing the components selected by the user. The simulation output includes frames for displaying data derived by the model and an animated representation of the operating scanning system including displaying a beam being scanned by the scanning system.
