Software Features at a Glance

The innovative visualization software offers users a wide range of options, both in processing and in displaying and evaluating the scan data:

• Import scan data
• Edit properties and add notes
• Adjust views (rotate, scale, move)
• Use predefined viewports
• Optimize scan data with modifiers
• Select from various user interface designs
• Assign soil types (changes depth calculation and visualization)
• Select measured values
• Activate tablet mode
• Professional Edition Set bookmarks
• Professional Edition Export data as PDF

Edit Properties and Add Notes

In addition to the measured values, basic data such as date, length and width of the measurement field and (if activated) the associated GPS position are saved for each measurement. This information can be supplemented in the software with further information on the measurement or with information on special measuring field properties.

Adjust Views (Rotate, Scale, Move)

The completed scan graphic can be positioned, enlarged and rotated according to individual requirements. Thus, on the one hand a top view is possible (2D), on the other hand three-dimensional views are also possible by rotating. For easy handling, you will find preset standard views to click on in the left toolbar.

Use Predefined Viewports

Thanks to preset viewports, the scan image can be divided among several windows. This means that several perspectives can be viewed at the same time. In order to focus on a specific area, different windows in different sizes can be selected. Alternatively, the display area can be limited to a single window.

Optimize Scan Data with Modifiers

Using the four predefined modifiers (interpolation, subdivision, signal correction, rotation correction), the measured values are automatically corrected, extended by additional measuring points and recalculated in order to optimize the display and facilitate the search for potential find objects within the measured data.

Select from Various User Interface Designs

For different ambient light conditions, the software offers four user interface designs to choose from. Select the one that suits your taste!

Assign Soil Types (changes Depth Calculation and Visualization)

With 12 OKM standard soil types and 12 additional USDA soil types, the new Visualizer 3D Studio software offers extended functionality: By selecting the appropriate soil type, the calculation of the depth values is adjusted according to the stored soil properties such as dielectric constant, relative permeability, homogeneity, mineralization and moisture. The selection of the correct soil type is essential, as the calculation of the measurement depth is significantly influenced by it. For a better visual evaluation the deposited soil textures can be mapped.

Select Scan Values

To select individual scan values, not only the arrow keys but now also the mouse can be used. With this function, details of the selected measured value can be viewed more easily. Furthermore, a bookmark can be set on this point that can be provided with additional information.

Set Bookmarks Professional Edition

Bookmarks can be used to highlight areas of interest and potential findings. A pin on the selected measurement marks a point for which further details can be noted. Optionally, a rectangle or circle can be placed around the point to highlight an entire area.

Export Data as PDF Professional Edition

Until now, the scan image was only available to be printed directly or exported as an image. This function has been adopted for the Standard Edition and even extended for the Professional Edition: With the PRO version, you can have your scan data automatically compiled. Decide for yourself whether with or without image, scan information, details on soil types and/or set bookmarks.

Activate Tablet Mode

When using the Visualizer 3D Studio software on a tablet or laptop with a smaller screen, it is recommended to activate the tablet mode. This will optimize the display of the import process and improve its visibility.

New Features for Advanced Ground Scan Analyses

The OKM software has continued to advance along with the detectors and the requirements of the users. Thus, numerous useful functionalities have been added to facilitate the use of the software and to make the evaluation of the scan data more efficient.

New features include:

• Benefit from additional visualization options
• Set Individual Bookmarks
• Add Individual Soil Types
• Include Scan Field Photo
• Generate PDF Report
• Additional Preset Soil Types
• Advanced Settings

Easy-to-Use Software - also for Inexperienced Users

Easy-to-understand icons and direct tooltips enable intuitive operation. Sample scans available in the program show users which graphic details may indicate potential targets such as buried treasure chests and artifacts, underground tunnels, burial chambers and underground pipelines.

In addition, users are supported by an interactive help system. This and the online help are currently available in English and German.

Documentation / Online Help

Supported Detectors

The scan analysis software Visualizer 3D Studio has been especially designed for OKM metal detectors, 3D ground scanners, water detectors and ground penetrating radar.

In addition, all saved scan files in *.v3d format such as 3D Ground Scan and Mineral Scan, which were performed with older OKM ground scanners and metal detectors, can also be opened in the new Visualizer 3D Studio software. This allows to view, edit and analyze the scan data with the new software, which offers new functions and tools.

Software Documentation: Interactive Help Replaces the Manual

For efficient use of the software, OKM relies on interactive help: Depending on the function, appropriate notes are displayed when help is activated. Additionally, tooltips as well as shortcuts in the status bar (lower window border) help with the usage. With the online help - the so-called documentation - you are always up-to-date. You can browse through it without any software update; all you need is an Internet connection.

• language-independent symbols
• intuitive interface and functions
• tooltips at function keys
• context-sensitive help directly in the software (offline)
• documentation always up to date (online)

If you cannot find answers to your questions in the help/documentation, software tutorial videos provide further support. Examples are used here to show the software functions in detail.
