F4 Set Encoder Options
Figure 12: Set Encoder Options
The Encoder Options menu allows the Counting Sense, Decimal Place, Units Label, Distance Pre-Set, Scale Factor, and
Calibration to be set. Use the up and down arrow keys to change values and the tab key to move between fields.
Set the counting Sense to Up to have the counter count up as the cable is pulled out. Set the counting sense to down to
have the counter count down as the counter is pulled out.
If more (or less) than one decimal place of precision is needed the decimal places option may be changed to 0, 1, 2, or 3
decimal places.
The units label may be changed to f or m for feet or meters.
The preset value allows the user to set a preset distance into the encoder. This distance will vary from camera to
camera. It also depends if the user measures from the center of the manhole or start of the pipe.
Scale factor allows the user to manually set how many units per count will be used. On a 10 count counter, the unit will
count .1 units per count. On a 20 count counter the system will count .05 units per count. The scale factor can also be
found by calibrating the encoder. Press F9 to calibrate the encoder.
