Settings: 

Camera: 

 

 

 

 

Exposure:

 

Switch between Auto & Manual exposure modes. In Auto Exposure mode, 

the Gain and Iris settings are automatically adjusted, the user can adjust the 
image brightness if required. In Manual Exposure mode the user can adjust 
both the gain and the iris settings of the camera. Higher gain values will 
increase noise on the image. Lower iris value will reduce the amount of light 
entering the camera, but will improve focus depth. 

(note: when Auto Exposure is enabled Gain, Iris and Shutter adjustments are disabled 

and automatically adjusted.  The values for these disabled settings are not relevant when auto 
exposure is set active) 

 

Focus:

 

Switch between Auto & Manual Focus modes. In Manual mode the focal 

point can be set by the user.  

Lighting Control:

  Select which Ringlight LED quadrant to turn on/off. Set the Intensity value of 

the LEDs and toggle all the LEDs ON/OFF. The INSPEX II will auto detect the 
type of Ringlight that is connected. When the Dome Ringlight is connected, 
the quadrant buttons are disabled.

Please note: 

Measurements are only valid if the measurement icon shows 

 .  

If the focus settings are not valid for measurement 

 then click on the icon to set the focus 

to measurement mode.
