The “R” means radius , “A” means angle, and the “L” means arc.

1. After inserting the software installation CD into the CD-ROM drive, why doesn’t the installation 
install automatically?

Autorun function. Please double click the CD-ROM drive on your computer, and click the 
AUTORUN.EXE file.
2. Why does the image lag after I check the Use AVIDecompressor box on the Video Setup 
window? 
ANS

The Use AVIDecompressor function doesn’t support Windows XP SP3 or above.

3. Why the measurement number is incorrect?
ANS

You need to use the Calibrate function on the measurement window before making a 

measurement. Also if you change the focal distance or height of the object you will need to use 
the Adjust function again.

ANS: Set the system using the following steps:Start→Control Panel Home→System→Advanced
→Performance→Setting

Then release the “Show shadows under windows” and ”Show window contents while dragging.”
5. Why does the recording file show an error message when I open the time-lapse function?
ANS: If you open the time-lapse function, please make sure the recording time is longer than the 
ratio time.
EX: Choose 60s:1s, the real recording time must be longer than 60 seconds.
6. Why do the LED lights will go out automatically while recording?

please set the system by the following steps: Start→Control Panel→System and Security→Power 
Options→Select a power plan

MicroViewer 5MP CD into the CD-ROM drive. B.Click the “Install MicroViewer 1.3MP” button on 
the installation program and the latest MicroViewer 1.3MP will install automatically.

8. I can’t install the MicroViewer because of the antivirus software protection. How to solve this 

problem?
A: Your antivirus software may quarantine the MicroViewer because the software thought it was a 
virus. Please uninstall the antivirus software, install the MicroViewer, and install your antivirus 
software again. Or you can add MicroViewer to your antivirus whitelist.
