The underlying principles of Auto Scan involve optimizing the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and Contrast to Noise Ratio (CNR). SNR measures the level of desired signal against the background noise, while CNR evaluates the contrast between different materials in the presence of noise. By tuning these ratios, Auto Scan enhances the clarity and distinction of scanned features, ensuring high-quality images that reveal intricate details.

Using Auto Scan is straightforward: select the desired scan time, specify whether the part is mono-material or multi-material, and let the feature optimize the settings for you. This approach not only saves time but also provides a solid foundation for further iterations. You can start with the parameters chosen by Auto Scan and refine them as needed to meet specific requirements, ensuring each scan is tailored to your needs.
