12 questions · live exam draws 5

Q1 multiple-choice · pre-session-prep

Which pre-session prep item is highest priority before any sample touches the platform?

A) Brewing fresh coffee for the operator
B) Verifying CAPP loaded + all 7 cameras detected + workstation responsive + no-sample test rotation completes smoothly
C) Renaming yesterday’s session folder
D) Updating customer email addresses in the CRM

Source: SPCARP02 §1.3 — CAPP readiness.

Explanation: Equipment + workstation readiness checks are mandatory before production capture. A session that starts without verified camera detection or smooth rotation will fail mid-sequence.

Q2 multiple-choice · loading-ramp-choice

When loading a rolled 2 × 3 m runner with directional design (“THIS WAY UP” arrow), the ramp choice should be:

A) Always the front ramp regardless of design orientation
B) Whichever ramp lets the carpet orient with design facing the intended viewer position (typically toward the primary side camera)
C) The ramp closest to the operator workstation
D) Random — any ramp works equally well

Source: SPCARP02 §2.1 — Choose the ramp.

Explanation: Ramp choice driven by sample design orientation + how the carpet rolls + cyclorama clearance. No single “right” ramp; depends per sample.

Q3 multiple-choice · pile-relaxation

After un-rolling a deep-pile rug onto the Carpet Studio platform, you should:

A) Trigger capture immediately for maximum throughput
B) Allow 1-2 minutes for pile to relax from storage compression before capture; smooth along natural pile direction
C) Vacuum the entire pile to standardise direction
D) Apply water mist to flatten pile

Source: SPCARP02 §2.3 — Flatten + align.

Explanation: Pile compression from storage doesn’t fully relax instantly. Rushed captures show compression pattern artifacts. 1-2 min relax + gentle smoothing = clean capture.

Q4 multiple-choice · reference-frames

Before any production capture, the operator should capture reference frames. The canonical reference frame set is:

A) Three frames of the cyclorama background only
B) Empty platform (per camera) + colour-reference card (per camera) + scale reference (per camera)
C) One frame of each sample’s barcode
D) A self-portrait of the operator for session accountability

Source: SPCARP02 §3.4 — Reference frames.

Explanation: Three reference frame types per camera: empty platform (framing + cyclorama check), colour card (WB + colour normalisation source for post), scale reference (measurement calibration). Mandatory for production sessions.

Q5 multiple-choice · capture-set

The standard 360° catalog capture set in CAPP uses how many cameras and how many rotation stops?

A) 1 camera, 36 stops
B) 3 cameras, 12 stops
C) 7 cameras, 12 stops
D) All 7 cameras, 24 rotation stops

Source: SPCARP02 §3.1 — Capture set selection.

Explanation: Standard 360° catalog = all 7 cameras × 24 stops = 168 exposures per sample. Default for typical customer deliverables (catalog + Visualizer).

Q6 multiple-choice · scenarios

CAPP scenarios are best described as:

A) Hypothetical capture situations described in instructor’s session notes
B) Saved capture configurations (cameras + rotation + lighting + naming) reusable with one-click recall across sessions
C) Customer-specific brand guidelines templates
D) Backup workflows for when primary equipment fails

Source: SPCARP02 §5 — Scenarios.

Explanation: Scenarios = saved CAPP configurations. Build library across sessions; reuse with one click. Productivity multiplier for repeat customer work.

Q7 multiple-choice · wizard-mode-application

Wizard mode in CAPP is most appropriate for:

A) A one-off bespoke artisan carpet capture
B) Setting up a brand-new customer’s first Carpet Studio session
C) A 60-sample residential rug catalog session where samples have barcodes mapped to a saved scenario
D) An inspection-grade session with multi-pass capture per sample

Source: SPCARP02 §6.2 — When to use wizard mode.

Explanation: Wizard mode = high-throughput catalog with pre-configured catalog database + scenarios. Inspection / bespoke / first-customer sessions use standard mode for per-sample tuning.

Q8 multiple-choice · problem-pile-up

Mid-session, you observe deep-pile rug edges showing “frizzy” curling fibres in the captures. The first recovery action is:

A) Continue capture + flag for post-production cropping
B) Stop capture, smooth pile along natural lay direction, allow 60-90 sec for fibre relaxation, re-trigger capture
C) Switch to a different camera angle that doesn’t show the edges
D) Reduce strobe power to mask the artifacts

Source: SPCARP02 §7.1 — Pile-up at sample edges.

Explanation: Pile-up = recoverable in-session. Stop, smooth, wait, re-capture. Avoiding it is preferable to post-production rework.

Q9 multiple-choice · problem-colour-drift

Captures from Camera 1 read warm-beige; from Camera 2 read cool-grey; from Camera 3 read warm-beige — same sample, same lighting. Most likely cause:

A) Camera 2 has a defective sensor
B) Camera 2 lost white-balance calibration during session (or was set to a different WB than Cameras 1+3)
C) Camera 2 is positioned at a different distance from the sample
D) Camera 2 is using a different file format

Source: SPCARP02 §7.3 — Colour drift across cameras.

Explanation: Per-camera WB drift = common cause of colour mismatch across multi-camera rigs. Re-calibrate WB across all cameras against same reference card; flag persistent drift for Hardware Specialist.

Q10 multiple-choice · rotation-misalignment

During rotation, you observe the carpet shifting ~3 cm position relative to the platform between stops. Recovery action:

A) Tape the carpet to the platform with strong adhesive
B) Increase rotation speed to overcome friction
C) Stop capture, reposition centred, consider friction underlayment (felt or rubber mat) if backing slips; reduce rotation speed if possible; re-capture
D) Accept the drift + correct in post-production

Source: SPCARP02 §7.2 — Rotation misalignment.

Explanation: Drift = recoverable. Centre, add friction if needed, slow rotation. Adhesive damages samples; rotation-speed increase worsens drift.

Q11 multiple-choice · session-closeout

Session closeout discipline is important because:

A) Without it, customers’ invoices are wrong
B) Clean closeout (capture review, file organisation, session notes, equipment care) determines what post-production receives + what the next session’s operator inherits
C) PhotoRobot Sales requires closeout reports for billing
D) It’s a regulatory compliance requirement

Source: SPCARP02 §8 — Session closeout.

Explanation: Closeout discipline is the handoff to post + to next session. Skipping it creates rework + drift across sessions.

Q12 multiple-choice · capp-shutdown

At end of shift, the correct way to close CAPP is:

A) Just close the laptop lid — saves time
B) Force-quit the application
C) Use CAPP’s proper Exit / Shutdown command so controller state flushes cleanly
D) Restart the computer without closing CAPP

Source: SPCARP02 §8.4 — End-of-shift closeout.

Explanation: Improper shutdown corrupts capture indices over time. 5 sec of clean shutdown prevents 1 full-day debugging session per quarter.
