Operating system: Windows 8 10 / Windows 10 11 (64 bit), all updates included.
Software: WinCanVX; version 1.20212023.1015.3 X or higher
Module MapVX: real time drawing of the section geometry, based on the coordinate values (X/Y/Z).
Module WinCan 3D: drawing and 3D-visualization of the whole pipeline network, based on the coordinate values (X/Y/Z) recorded for each sectionWinCan 3D: drawing and 3D-visualization of the whole pipeline network, based on the coordinate values (X/Y/Z) recorded for each section.
Settings in WinCan VX
Prior to pipe geometry measurement the operator has to check all the required settings in WinCanVX as well as in the software module Map.
This makes sure that both software parts (i.e. WinCanVX and Map) provide reliable and clearly interpretable results at any time during data entry and measurement of the section and lateral geometry. The following sub-chapters first describe all settings needed in WinCanVX.
Hardware configuration
The corresponding measuring system has to be configured under Home > Settings. The configurations described below refer to the systems which are currently available and supported by WinCanVX.
...
Equipment from IBAK:
Run the command Home > Settings, go to the category OSD and select the device EDE 7 as well as the corresponding COM-port (1):
...
Next switch to the category 3D-Measurement, reselect the same device and activate the option Select start direction. Select compellingly another COM-port (e.g. COM2 or COM3).

Important: in case the virtual device IBAK-SoftControl has been installed, you must select this one in the categories Live-Video, Textgenerator as well as 3D-Measurement. |
The option Show button for hydrostatic measurement is only used in case you are asked to provide accurate measurements of the manhole altitudes (i.e. altitude above sea level of the manhole ground).
Finally confirm all settings and restart WinCanVX.

Configuration of an equipment from Rausch:
...
Check the distance counter for the satellite camera and set it to 0 m if necessary.
Prior to the 3D measurement you will first have to adjust the view direction of the satellite camera to the main pipe axis. The camera head must not be pushed yet into the lateral pipe.
Move to the position where the lateral is connected to the main pipe and set the view direction of the camera (1) as illustrated below:
