The resolution of the camera input must be consistent with the best resolution of the monitor, otherwise the image will be deformed or blurred and affect the viewing and measurement results. Even can not be displayed. ii. If the camera can not display properly due to replacing the monitor, you can press the middle mouse button for 3 seconds then the camera can restore the factory settings. The default resolution is 1024 * 768, all monitors can support and display. Recovery and re-set the display corresponding resolution. iii. All the setting on the menu will be saved automatically after you exit the menu. iv. In the frozen left and right half of the image, please click on a "full-screen freeze" and then click on the "left (or right) screen frozen v. If you need the marked line, measuring graphics or mark saved with the pictures, you must check the camera settings "on. vi. If you delete a measurement graphics, you must choose the corresponding number and then deleted, so as to avoid accidentally delete (all measurements on the graph label). vii. Date information of photos taken by the camera need to be entered manually, if the photos need the correct date information then you need to update the input according to the actual date, if it doesn t need date information, then you don t need to input. viii. In the "user defined" settings, the user must edit the name of photos number every time, otherwise the unchangeable photo number will lead to new photos overwrite the old photos; ix. Under Automatically adds" setting, you can directly click the middle mouse button to take photos, When using the middle mouse button to take pictures, If there is duplicate file names in the U disk, it will be directly 7.Camera operating guide and precautions 31

When need to compare with various shape during detecting, you can draw lines or contours in the measurement mode, and then used for comparison. xii. How to get good image: a) Has good light, include the following: 1. Has enough light intensity: because the camera frame rate is very high, if the light intensity is not enough, will cause the image too dark. 2. Good illumination uniformity: good light should ensure uniform illumination on the subject, avoid a local too bright or too dark, and avoid a significant shadow. 3. Suitable irradiation angle: the irradiation angle of light source is very important to observe the details of the subject. For example, If you want to see the concavo-convex surface, then the light source should be at a low angle radiation; while for the textile and etc object which have strong diffuse, you can use ring light directly; for objects which have reflected light,you can consider to use the coaxial light or a polarizer. b) Lens with good depth of field, large depth of field can make the object more clearly, especially when the details of objects are not in the same plane. Adjust aperture a little so as to increase the depth of field, but when the aperture is small, it will reduce the coming light source, then it needs strong enough external light. xiii. Adjust white balance: Camera has automatic white balance function; it will automatically adjust to the best effect in most cases, but if the color of the scene too single may result in color reproduction inaccurate, can adjust by turning off the automatic white balance and appropriate manual fine-tuning R, G, and B. 8.Measure Considerations In order to ensure accurate measurement and good repeatability accuracy, please operate according to the following requirements 1) Make sure that the best resolution of the camera setting and the best resolution of display are the same before measuring, so as to obtain the clearest image. 2) Please arrange the light source before measuring, to ensure there is no shadow on the edges of object., the shadow will seriously affect the judgment to the edges of objects, resulting in accuracy worse; 3) Please select a low-distortion lens (telemetric lens), the poor quality of the lens can cause serious deterioration of measurement accuracy. 4) In order to improve the accuracy, it is recommended to set the scale or measurement target image as large as possible, preferably greater than 2/3 of the width of the screen, but if the lens (distortion), it is not recommended to do so, because the distortion of the edge of the lens is serious than the center. It s suggested that measuring and setting scale in the image center position, this location is the minimum lens distortion. But the scale or the size of the measuring image should not be less than 1/4 of the width of the screen, so as to avoid too few pixels to reduce the measurement accuracy; 5) Adjust the brightness of image, contrast, gamma, sharpness to the best value, to ensure the edge of the object clearest. 6) Please set scale correctly before measuring, in order to ensure accuracy, it is recommended to use the original micrometer for scale settings. 8.Measure Considerations 32

33 7) After setting the scale, if the height of objects change lead to the image blur, you can adjust the bracket (camera) to make the image clear, but you can not use the focus ring to adjust. 8) It s recommended to choose a larger number when set the scale, such as 1cm length to calibrate the scale, you can choose 1 cm or 10 mm on the menu, but recommended to choose 10mm, at this moment,you can get more significant bit of measurement data and the accuracy is higher. 9) You can t change the environment after the scale has been settled, otherwise it will affect the measurement accuracy, including the following: 1. Change the lens 2. Adjust magnification of the lens 3. Adjust the focus ring of the lens 4. Adjust camera and lens interface(such as increase / decrease extended ring, or rotate the lens) 5.

To avoid line slightly offset lead to measurement errors, which can improve the precision of the measurement; 12) It s recommended to select a background which is totally different from the gradation of the object. It will be helpful to improve the precision of the measurement; 13) The sensitivity of the mouse impact on the precision of the measurement and efficiency. It s recommended to use the mouse pad, rather than operating the mouse directly on a smooth desktop or glass. If the object uncertainty, it is recommended to use slide light which can adjust the lighting effects more flexibility. 9.Product Note In the transport or during using, should be avoided by strong extrusion, collision and vibration; Please avoid image sensor is exposed to strong light (such as sunlight or strong light); When cleaning the product filter, please do not use corrosive or abrasive, you should use dry soft cloth (or dust-free paper) and neutral detergent (such as alcohol) to wipe to wipe it gently; When using camera,please do not exceed the environmental conditions specified in this manual, any special requirements, please contact us; Please use the standard power adapter, do not feel free to use the other power supply, or it may damage the camera, damage caused by improper use is not covered under warranty; Please do not open the camera or power supply cover, if failure occurs, please contact us.
