Important Information
Intended use of this software
This software has been designed to permit observation of the interior of a
machine, facility or building, which cannot be observed directly from the
exterior, using a industrial videoscope such as the IPLEX series, to
display the observed images and measurement results on the PC screen
and to perform re-measurements.
This software can display the hierarchical structure of files and folders in
the PC as well as the network drive that is mapped to one of the drive
characters of the PC. This software can copy, move, rename and search
files and folders. You can drag & drop the image on the screen into other
applications*. This makes it possible to create a report or a document
quickly.
* Provided that the application software is drag & drop compatible.
Measurement accuracy
The stereo measurement function of this software utilizes image
processing, the measurement accuracy is affected by the quality of the
image used. Since the image quality is variable depending on the
surface conditions of the measurement target and on the imaging
conditions such as the brightness, Olympus does not guarantee the
accuracy of the results obtained with this measurement. Each customer
is requested to obtain the measurement accuracy by repeating testing,
etc. To obtain the correct results from the measurements using a
industrial videoscope such as the IPLEX series, it is recommended to
perform measurements using several images captured from various
angles.
Instruction manual
Before using the software, read this manual, as well as the software
licensing agreement included with the software. Also be sure to read the
instruction manuals for your industrial videoscope such as the IPLEX
series and those for your PC and OS.
If you have any questions about the information provided in this manual,
please contact Olympus.

Click on either [Zoom] button in the toolbar at the top of the Stereo
Measurement window to display the images around the current cursor
position and the corresponding point respectively in the cursor zoom
window and corresponding zoom point window (Figure, “4.3.1”). When
the cursor zoom window is displayed, the zoomed image is moved
according to the movement of the mouse, and the cursor position can be
specified.
The zoom ratio can be set to 2X, 3X or 4X. Pressing increases the
zoom ratio and pressing decreases it.
When is pressed while the zoom ratio is 2X, the cursor zoom window
and corresponding point zoom window disappear.
Sub-pixel pointing
Sub-pixel pointing specifies finely cursor position at a narrower interval
than pixel interval of an original image. When the cursor zoom window is
displayed, press and hold the mouse button and move the cursor to the
desired point on the image.

Offset
When a point is entered newly, the distance from the reference line to
that point is measured. At this time, an offset line that passes through the
newly entered point and is parallel with the reference line is displayed.

Depth
When a point is entered newly, the distance from the reference plane to
that point is measured.

Every time a point is entered newly, the total length of the segments in
the continuous folded line is measured. Up to 20 measurement points
can be entered per folded line.

Area
When three or more points are entered to form a polygon, the area of the
polygon is measured.
The polygon can be closed in either method below.
Method 1 After entering the last point of the polygon, press the mouse
right button.

No measurement point can be added in this measurement. It is
necessary to clear existing measurement results by referring to Section
4.9, “To delete all the measurement results” and then start a new
measurement as described in Section 4.11, “To start new measurement”.
Profile
When two points are entered newly, the surface profile across the two
points is detected and displayed on the left image. The distance between
the two points at the extremities of the detected surface profile is also
measured.
