button.
2.
Place the mouse at a point on the screen and use the scroll wheel on the mouse (if available).This
will give the user control over how much digital zoom is given.
3. Using the tool bar at the bottom of the screen, click the
+
icon to zoom in incrementally. To zoom
out by the same amount, click on the

icon on the tool bar. The magnifying glass icon will zoom in
and out by the preset zoom.
Whilst using digital zoom, a thumbnail image of the screen will appear in the top left of the screen. At
the top of this panel is the amount of magnification you are using. When zoomed out fully, this panel
will not appear on the screen.

carried out during installation where a camera port requires camera flipping to show the image correctly
on the screen. This will be carried out by a trained RI Service Engineer or company representative. When
camera flipping is required it is recommended to carry out Laser Target Alignment as per instructions
before carrying out any procedure.
