Preparation for Using Annotation Function and Measurement Function
This chapter describes notes on adding annotations and using the measurement function and settings required for operation.
10.1
Before Use
The following functions for images are available in this system.
•
Displaying scales
The system is provided with a function to display XY measurement, X scale (cross scale), scale, cross hairs, grid line, etc.
for live images and playback images. Use the [TOOL] menu to operate this function. Different from other annotation
functions and measurement functions, this function can set whether to include scales in image files for each item.
•
Annotation
You can add annotations to a live or playback image. Annotations include arbitrary text and marker (number) among
others. Use [TOOL] operation menu to add annotations.
•
Measurement
You can measure length, angle or diameter of an object on a live or playback image in a simple manner. Use the [TOOL
BAR] dedicated for this purpose.
10.1.1
Notes about Annotation and Simplified Measurement
Notes about annotation and simplified measurement
Note the following when you use annotation and simplified measurement.
•
Calibration:
Be sure to check the calibration setting before measuring an object using the annotation or simplified measurement
function. This system has two settings for calibration: “Optical” and “Manual”.
-
When you select “Optical”, the measurement criteria calculated from the optical equipment zoom magnification is
used.
-
When you measure an object with arbitrary criteria, select “Manual”.
•
Switching calibration mode:
When calibration mode is switched, annotation and measurement results become as follows.
-
Scales and annotation function execution results are drawn as they are.
-
Measurement function execution results are completely deleted.
•
Precision:
Precision of this system’s measurement is not high.
•
Electronic Zooming:
When an
image is enlarged with the electronic zoom, scales, annotations added, and measurement results are also
enlarged.
