Autopilot Scan

Gather scan parameters

• Ask the user for (or read from a preset file):
  • Sensor: Which detector to use
  • Size profile: Small / Medium / Large part
  • Voltage (kV): Typical range 80-225
  • Current (uA): Typical range 50-1000
  • Integration time (ms): Exposure per projection
  • Quality: Draft / Standard / High
  • Steps: Number of rotation steps (e.g., 400, 800, 1600)

Step 1 — Sensor selection + size profile

• POST to CT-PC API to select sensor and load size profile:

  curl -X POST http://localhost:4802/scan/step/1 \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"sensor": "<sensor>", "sizeProfile": "<profile>"}'
  

Step 2 — CT tab switch

• Switch WinWerth to the CT measurement tab:

  curl -X POST http://localhost:4802/scan/step/2
  

Step 3 — Parameter entry

• Enter voltage, current, integration time, quality, and steps:

  curl -X POST http://localhost:4802/scan/step/3 \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"voltage": <kV>, "current": <uA>, "integrationTime": <ms>, "quality": "<quality>", "steps": <n>}'
  

Step 4 — Tube activation

• Activate the X-ray tube and wait for warmup:

  curl -X POST http://localhost:4802/scan/step/4
  

• Monitor tube status until ready (poll /scan/status)

Step 5 — Position check

• Trigger rotation preview and verify Bilddynamik is within 20-220 range:

  curl -X POST http://localhost:4802/scan/step/5
  

• If dynamics are out of range, suggest /autopilot-calibrate to adjust

Step 6 — Run the scan (Messen)

• Start the measurement:

  curl -X POST http://localhost:4802/scan/step/6
  

• Poll scan progress until complete:

  curl -s http://localhost:4802/scan/status
  

Step 7 — STL export

• Run the export pipeline: Kontur -> VxVol -> Grafik3D -> Save:

  curl -X POST http://localhost:4802/scan/step/7 \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"outputName": "<part-name>"}'
  

Or start full scan in one call

• Use the combined endpoint to run all 7 steps:

  curl -X POST http://localhost:4802/scan/start \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"sensor": "<sensor>", "sizeProfile": "<profile>", "voltage": <kV>, "current": <uA>, "integrationTime": <ms>, "quality": "<quality>", "steps": <n>, "outputName": "<part-name>"}'
  

Verify result

• Check scan completed successfully and STL file was exported
• Show scan duration, file size, and output path
