1  INTRODUCTION 

With  the  iQ-FoV-Box,  you  have  a  chart  illumination  and  positioning  system  optimized  for  resolution 

measurements of high FoV cameras up to 180 degrees. Together with the iQ-Analyzer, it is a complete 

automatic detection and analysis solution for two different chart setups. In the following manual, you will 

find a detailed description of how to use this system to get the best measurement performance.  

If you assemble your iQ-FoV-Box by yourself, please follow the separate installation manual.  

Safety note: If the power supply gets interrupted or there is a power failure, the illumination may 

execute a reset and start again with 1 % brightness. 

 

2  STARTING THE SYSTEM 

2.1  Placement 

Place your iQ-FoV-Box in a dry condition and on even ground. Ensure that there is enough space around 

the box. You need full access to the back door and enough space to adjust the alignment arm on the 

front side to the full length.  

2.2  Starting/Control overview 

Connect the box to power and turn it on with the power switch placed on the control panel at the lower 

left edge of the front wall of the box. On the right side of the control panel are the illuminance intensity 

knob,  the  illumination on/off  button,  and  a  USB port.  This  USB  port directly  connects  to  the  camera 

mounting inside the box. You do not need to put a control or power cable inside the box.  

The box is now ready for starting with camera and chart alignment. The alignment tools and chart setups 

will be described in the following chapters.  

 

3  CAMERA AND CHART ALIGNMENT 

You  can  choose between  two different  chart  setups  when  using  your  iQ-FoV Box.  These setups  will 

allow  you  to  analyze  your  images  automatically  with  the  iQ-Analyzer-X.  For  high  performance,  it  is 

crucial to  align  your  camera  inside the box and position the three  different  chart types  in  the  correct 

areas.
