The Software needs to be calibrated when the unit is installed and every time the camera height
changes. See chapter 3.6.6 for the calibration procedures.
MacroPATH 's measurement
function is strictly linked to the calibration performed by the operator and is not controlled
by the unit's software. That is why the measurements of the sample obtained with
MacroPATH
CANNOT be taken into account for diagnostic purposes. These values are
purely indicative.
Indeed, a ruler must be placed near the sample (see image below) or a gauge must be used to obtain
a diagnostic value for the growth of the tumour, the extent of the lesion, etc.
If there is no calibration, the <?> symbol appears on the image.
