NOTE

The LED-Panel hardware must be connected to your computer via USB during the
activation process.

5.5 Software description

The LED-Panel software contains two main functions:

•

controlling LED-Panel V5, LED-Panel V4 and LED-Panel V3

•

analyzing images taken from LED-Panel V5 and LED-Panel V4

You can perform many actions using the control software, including setting the desired
measurement frequency, choosing between the available LED modes, starting and stopping the
LED-Panel, adjusting the LED array, and displaying brightness. You can also release an iQ-
Trigger attached to the LED-Panel once or set an interval to release it periodically to take a
series of images.

For the analysis of images, the LED-Panel software provides a convenient way to evaluate
camera timing, such as shooting release time lag, with the assistance of the LED-Panel device
according to ISO 15781. The software supports all standard image file formats like JPEG, PNG,
TIFF, and BMP. The analysis results can be saved as plain text (*.txt) and/or XML files for
further processing.

Note: Software-based analysis is only available for LED-Panel V5 and LED-Panel V4.
