Chapter 1
Product Description
The CubiScan 75 is a static, overhead cubing system that uses innovative
sensing technology to measure objects. The simple overhead design grants
access from almost any direction. There are no moving parts—allowing for
effortless setup and use.
Any scale with a TCP/IP or serial output can be used with the CubiScan 75,
creating a complete cubing and weighing system. Measurements are
quickly taken by placing an object on the scale (if a scale is being used),
scanning a barcode, or clicking the Measure button—resulting in fast, easy,
and accurate data gathering.
The CubiScan 75 can be used for storage space planning, creating shipment
manifests, and obtaining detailed dimensioning data. It has an integrated
display that shows a color-depth map of the measured object or a live view
of the measurement area, as well as the measurement results. 3D cameras
measure to a precise increment of 0.2 inches.
Each unit has an Ethernet port, enabling the CubiScan 75 to communicate
with a computer. Proprietary Qbit software is used to interface with the
CubiScan 75, allowing for menu-driven operator control, data storage and
transfer, as well as diagnostics. Alternatively, documented communications
protocol can be used to create custom software.
The CubiScan 75 uses powerful sensing technologies to create a flexible and
economical solution for today’s most demanding cubing applications.

Dimension Readings Are Not Accurate
If you suspect that the CubiScan 75 dimension readings are inaccurate
(varying by more than ± 0.2''), do the following:
1. Make sure that no other objects are interfering with measurements. The
measurement area should be clear of all objects that are not being
measured.
2. Sometimes black, shiny surfaces are difficult for the CubiScan 75 to
dimension. Try measuring an object with a different surface to see if the
surface is causing a problem.
3. Check the color-depth image to see what is being measured. Make sure
that hands, arms, or other items are not included in measurements.
4. Direct sunlight can interfere with CubiScan 75 measurements. Move
the CubiScan 75 if direct sunlight is in the measurement area.
5. Cycle the power.

CubiScan 75 Command Set
CubiScan 75 Command Set
This section describes the commands recognized by the CubiScan 75.
All command packets begin with an STX (start of text) and end with a LF
(line feed). Each command has a Command field and an optional Data
field. For example:
<STX><COMMAND><DATA><ETX><CR><LF>
All commands receive either an Acknowledge response (ACK), or a
Negative Acknowledge response (NACK). An ACK has an “A” in the third
character position and may include a data field. A NACK has an “N” in the
third character position, indicating that an error occurred. For example:
ACK:
<STX><COMMAND><A><DATA><ETX><CR><LF>
NACK: <STX><COMMAND><N><ETX><CR>
The CubiScan 75 responds with a question mark NACK to any
unrecognized command. For example:
<STX><?><N><ETX><CR><LF>
When a NACK is sent by the CubiScan 75, the operation associated with
that command is aborted due to the error.
The CubiScan 75 recognizes the following commands from the command
set for an Ethernet connection.
Dimension Units
This command is used to set the dimension units to either English (inches)
or metric (centimeters) mode.
