Dimensions
The program can display onscreen the dimensions of the crosshair shape, and the dimensions
and area of the square and ellipse shapes
.
Set Dimensions:
In order to show the dimensions, they must first be set up. To do this an object of known size is
required.
1.
Place item of known size in the camera’s field of view.
2. Draw a rectangle around the item.
3. Right click on the rectangle and select “Set Dimensions”.
4. In the “Set Dimensions” window (see
Figure 7), select either “Set Width” or
“Select Height”, based on which
dimension the user knows. Only the
height or the width can be entered, and
the other will be calculated
automatically.
5. Enter the known dimension in the
“Dimension” box.
6. Enter the units for the dimension in the
“User Units” box.
7. Select the desired number of decimal
places to display dimensions in the “Decimal Places” box.
8. Click Accept to save the changes.
9. The dimensions for all shapes onscreen will be calculated based on the dimension specified
for the rectangle. If changes are made to a rectangle’s “Set Dimensions” window, the
dimensions for all onscreen shapes will update automatically.
Note: Manually adjusting the zoom (magnification) of the optics will make the displayed
dimensions no longer correct. After any adjustments to the optics zoom knob, the “Set
Dimension” procedure should be followed.
