The search starts automatically if at least three letters of the surname have been entered. If fewer letters are entered, the search is started by pressing the "Return" key. It is also possible to search by date of birth (e.g. 01/01/2001), by customer number (e.g. O_4) or by abbreviated surname (e.g. M*).
The existing customers that match the search are displayed in the field below. Click on the relevant customer to select it and the customer data will appear in the customer screen. To be able to carry out a measurement with the selected customer, please return to the start page first. Click on the arrow to return to the start page, the selected customer is accepted and displayed in the black menu bar.
Without having created or called up a customer, no measurement can be carried out or called up with the measuring system.

You get the following view:
In the selection menu, select LaserScan (if not already selected).
If you want to scan a foot, place the foot in the centre of the glass surface. Make sure that the tip of the foot points in the direction of the on/off switch (1).
Start the measurement by selecting which foot you want to scan.
Select "Scan page". The measurement is triggered by pressing the CTRL button or stepping on the foot pedal.
Important! Ensure that there are no direct light sources (lamps, fluorescent tubes, etc.) above the scanner. If the room is painted in red or orange colours, these could also have a negative effect on the measurement. Dark colours such as black and blue cannot be detected by the laser.
Repeat the process for the other foot. Please ensure that the pages are scanned correctly, as it is not possible to swap the pages afterwards.
Both feet should now be displayed.
In the following, the measurement is divided into "Scanning of feet" and "Scanning of footfall foams".
The device is intended for scanning the plantar foot shape or footstep foams. For this purpose, the device is placed on a firm and non-slip surface or installed in a platform. Either the customer's foot without footwear or a foot foam is placed on the measuring surface (2) of the device. A traversing unit equipped with a camera and laser scans the entire sole of the foot or the tread foam at a speed of 2-4 seconds per scan. A digital photo of the foot is also generated. The data obtained forms the basis for creating a grid model with millimetre-precise measurements of the plantar foot shape and the arch of the foot.
The camera and laser unit are controlled and the measurement data is transferred to the PC via a USB connection. The measured values are displayed on the PC in the GP LaserScan software module and can be analysed there.
