The 17 in. diagonal, 640 x 480 pixels SVGA color monitor operates in VGA
mode. The VGA standard display controller features RS-170 realtime video input
capability with VGA overlay on a single card for DOS-compatible computers.
Video images from the microscope and the graphical user interface are displayed
on the monitor at 60 Hz in a noninterlaced flicker format.
The keypad is the primary means of operating the KMS-310/400 system, from
program setup to stage positioning and measurement. Only alphanumeric entries
cannot be made with the keypad. It consists of 11 dedicated keys, a single 2-axis
joystick, and rotary thumbwheel.
The KMS-310/400 system also has a drawer-mounted keyboard, located in the
electronics control unit. This permanently attached keyboard is a standard full-
function keyboard with a reduced size. You can use it in place of the keypad for
all system functions, or only use it to type alphanumeric and DOS entries.
Software
The KMS-310/400 system provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for control
of all computer functions. The software's menus are layered over live video from
the microscope on the VGA monitor.
KMS KMS-310/400 system can be operated in either Supervisor or Production
mode. Supervisor mode allows users with a password to set up measurement
routines and configure system parameters. Production mode provides a
streamlined interface for routine measurement operations.
The KMS 310 is controlled by software version 310_300 (or greater). The KMS
400 is controlled by software version 400_427 (or greater).
