uSCOPE SOFTWARE
The uScope software lets you set the functions of the SV340 and control the video acquisition
and on-line processing. It also allows you to recall and process stored video files. uScope runs
on any PC with Microsoft Windows 7 operating system or later.
When the uScope software is started a dialog box will pop up that says "Select a new serial
port". Select the COM port that the serial connector is connected to and click OK. This dialog
will keep popping up until you succeed in communicating with the SVM or you click Cancel
(then you work offline and uScope does not try to send commands to the SVM).
Communications settings dialog box
Some functions are available with the SVM340 in offline mode. Manipulation of the stage (x, y,
and z) and illuminator settings can be accomplished via the front panel. Images can be viewed
and recorded with the SVM operating offline, however real-time measurements (such as PIV
and Intensity probes) are disabled.
The uScope main window shows the video display (live or saved) as selected in the Video menu.
The following controls are also available:
•
probes
•
illumination
•
focus
•
x-y traverse
•
presets
•
video recording
