Defining a straight line as the scan line
•
Activate the
Line arrow
button of the
Line
toolbar. Click on the spot in the frame at which the
line is to start and keep the mouse button pressed.
•
Then drag the line to its desired end position and let go off the mouse button again.
The position of the line in the image can be changed as follows:
•
Activate the
Arrow selection
button. To change the position in the X/Y-direction, click on the
line and keep the mouse button pressed.
•
Then move the lines to the desired position and let go off the mouse button again.
•
To change the rotation direction or the length of the line, click on the start or end point of the line
and keep the mouse button pressed.
•
Change the rotation direction and / or the length of the line as required and let go off the mouse
button again.
The intensity profile for the defined line is displayed on-line.
After release of the mouse button, the relevant intensity profile along the drawn line will be displayed. In
the
Zoom, Rotation & Offset
panel, the current, changed angle and the offset in X and Y are displayed.
•
When the
Line Sel
button is pressed again, a frame will be scanned in such a way that the selected
line lies exactly in the center of the Y-axis again and is parallel to the X-axis.
The position of the Line (rotation and offset) can also be changed directly in the
Zoom,
Rotation & Offset
panel of the
Scan Control
window.
In the
Line
mode, Line Stacks can also be recorded over a defined period of time (see
Time
Series
, page 4-104).

Defining a free shape curve (spline) as the scan line
•
Activate the
Free shape curve
button
of the
Line
toolbar.
•
Draw the your shape curve (spline) in the
Image Display
window using the mouse. The first click sets
the starting point, each further click adds a line segment. A click with the right mouse button ends the
line definition.
The scanner represented by a white line immediately begins with the on-line tracing of the defined free
shape curve. The laser excitation remains inactive in this process.
If the defined free shape curve becomes too complicated or the selected
Scan Speed
is too high, the
following message appears in the status bar of the
Image Display
windows:
Maximum scanner speed exceeded!
•
In this case, reduce the
Scan Speed
set in the
Scan Control
window.
•
If the generated contour and the line traced by the scanner are not in coincidence, reduce the
Scan
Speed
by a further amount.
