Calibration
To calibrate a new scale, follow these instructions:
1. First ensure Measurement Type is set to Linear Measurement.
2. Click Calibration
a. If an existing line is on the image, Applied Vision 4 will prompt you
to either use the existing line or draw a new one for the purpose of
identifying a known distance that can be used to calibrate a
measurement scale. Multiple measurement scales are useful
when measuring objects viewed through a microscope under
different objectives.
3. Type a full name for the scale under Name.
4. The Distance in Pixels should be preset according to the line drawn in
step 2.
5. Type the amount of actual units measured by the line in Known
Distance.
6. Enter an abbreviated unit name under Unit of Length.
7. Click OK.
Now the new scale will be selected by default and new measurements will be
computed using that scale.
