Replay Converter Tool

The Replay Converter is a console application that lets you do the following conversions with Profile and Surface scan data. You can run it from the Windows Command Prompt or Windows PowerShell.

• .gprec <=> .srf/.sur/.pcd (Valid for Surface input data)
• .gprec <=> .pro (Valid for Profile input data)
• .gprec => .csv (Valid for Profile/Surface input data)

Intensity information is included when converting to and from .pcd and .srf files. Intensity is not supported when converting to and from the .sur format.

You can get the tool in the utilities package (14631-x.x.x.x_SOFTWARE_GoPxL_Utilities.zip) from the downloads area of the LMI Technologies website: https://lmi3d.com/product-downloads/.

After downloading the utility package, unzip the file, open a command prompt or PowerShell instance, and run ReplayConverter.exe (under Tools\ReplayConverter). For example, ReplayConverter.exe -i myData.gprec -f 0 -o myOutput.sur.

To open a command line quickly, in File Explorer go to the folder containing the tool, hold Shift, right-click in empty area, and choose "Open command window here" or "Open PowerShell window here." Note that to start the tool in Windows PowerShell, you need to type ".\" before "ReplayConverter.exe".
