Max. exposure preview

Set the highest exposure time to be used for live image acquisitions using
the
Max. exposure preview in s
slide control. You can also enter the desired
text directly into the text field. This value defines the maximum exposure
time for live image acquisitions which intelligent Exposure can use. The
maximum value which can be entered here, depends on the camera being
utilized. A warning will appear should this value be exceeded by the current
illumination conditions.
Resolution
Select the size of the images to be acquired in the
Resolution
group. In doing
so, the resolution of the images changes, however not the image segment
shown.
Acquisition
Select the image size for the live acquisition from the
Acquire
list. Next to the
full resolutions, you will also find lower exposures with half and a third of the
pixel count in each direction available. intelligent Exposure uses this expo-
sure.
Snapshot
Select the image size for snapshots from the
Snapshot
list. Next to the full
resolutions, you will also find lower exposures with half and a third of the pix-
el count in each direction available. intelligent Exposure first sets the full ex-
posure automatically.
Keep live after snap-
shot
Select the
Keep live after snapshot
check box, in order to continue the live
acquisition directly after a snapshot. A snapshot is created in the live acqui-
sition's image buffer and a new live acquisition is started in the next image
buffer defined in the sequence.
Keep live after snapshot
is only available if
you have selected an entry other than
None
in the
Sequence
list located in
the
Special > Preferences > Image > Image acquisition
dialog box.

button to begin the camera's calibration process. The
procedures for calibration are the same as the procedures located in the
section entitled "Calibration".
NetCam
You can transfer the ColorView III live-image via the intranet or internet to
other computers using the add-In NetCam.
This enables you make the images available for your colleagues directly
during acquisition. Thus, interactive work over large distances is made pos-
sible using simultaneous communication, e.g., telephone. The images are
compressed so that they can be transferred quicker.
Transferred images
The live-image is directly transferred. Based on the speed of your network
connections and the attained refresh rate during acquisition, you will get the
impression of a live-image. In an internal company network, a direct backup
coupling from observer to user is possible without any elapsed time.
NetCam can also transfer a fixed image, whereby in this case the image's
overlay is also transferred.
Definition
The
Server
is the computer on which both the image-analysis software and
the NetCam are installed. The image acquisition is controlled from the serv-
er.
The
Client
is each computer which can access the server's images via in-
ternet. The client cannot control image acquisition.
