  Autofunctions 

The following Autofunctions are available: 

–  Focus 

–  Brightness (Level), 1x 

Single Autolevel by a double click on the control menu 

–  Brightness, permanent 

Autolevel, permanent 

–  Brightness/contrast, 1x  

Single Autoimage by a double click on the control menu 

–  Brightness/contrast, permanent  

Autoimage, permanent 

–  Calibration range 

Automatic change of calibration range 
TMin/TMax selection criterion: Calibration range is automatically 
changed, if calibration range limits are exceeded.  
If the found minimum/maximum falls below or exceeds the 
lower/upper calibration range limits of the next higher/lower 
calibration range by 10% of the span of the next higher/lower 
calibration range, the next higher/lower range will be set.  
If TMin and TMax have been activated, the range will be changed, 
when in the relevant image section the values fall below or exceed 
the range limits and the neighbouring range to be set covers the 
found maximum (control action through over/underrange 
conditions). If overrange and underrange conditions appear 
simultaneously, the calibration range will not be changed. 

–  Saving 

If the Autosave function is activated, the system automatically saves 
SID images from a selectable start time at selectable intervals. For 
this, two input windows appear successively after you exit the 
Autofunctions window with ESC:
