Start with the signal window / oscilloscope display. Any changes in the optical system or camera parameters
are displayed in real-time when using an open dialog box.
The oscilloscope display facilitates the effective focussing of the line scan camera system, even for two-dimen-
sional measurement tasks. For determining the correct focus, the edge steepness at dark-bright transitions and
the modulation of the line scan signal are the most important factors.
Adjust the focus using a fully opened aperture to restrict the depth of field and to amplify the effects of focus
adjustments.
The signal amplitude may require trimming when using a fully opened aperture and this can achieved most readily
by shortening the integration time, as described in section
Integration Time (p. 19)

Prior to a scan, the following adjustments and parameter settings should be considered for optimum scan
signals:
Out-of-focus:
• Low edge steepness
• Signal peaks are blurred
• High-frequency gray values with low
modulation
Optimum focus:
• Dark-bright transitions with steep edges
• Large modulation in the signal peaks
• High-frequency gray value variations
