MetroX first-use and mode tutorial
The manufacturer sequence covers the standard package, connections and the first decision between MetroX capture modes

Complete the workflow in order
- 01
Connect power and data in the documented order
Use the standard-package wiring shown in the tutorial and confirm that Revo Metro identifies MetroX before starting a project
- 02
Choose the mode from the object
Start with full-field mode for feature-rich surfaces, use cross or parallel laser lines for fine mechanical geometry, and use turntable mode only when the object can remain stable
- 03
Set exposure and working distance
Keep the distance indicator in the recommended band and adjust exposure until the target is visible without clipping important edges
- 04
Build overlapping coverage
Move slowly enough to retain shared geometry or markers between frames, then add deliberate passes for holes, recesses and the underside
- 05
Inspect before fusion
Remove obvious background points, look for stepped alignment and confirm that separate passes agree before producing the mesh
- 06
Check scale before CAD
Measure a known feature in the exported result and record the scan mode, calibration state and software version with the project
Do not stop at a green button
Check the result before relying on it
MetroX is identified without a connection warning
Tracking remains stable around repeated or low-feature geometry
Holes and recesses are captured rather than automatically filled
A known dimension is checked before reverse engineering
