3) Draw a measurement line.
Click the mouse button at the start point of the object to be measured and hold down the
mouse button while you drag and release the mouse button at the end point, to draw a
line (measurement line). The length of the measurement line will be displayed in the
vicinity of it.
Each measurement line is assigned numbers 1 to 9. The number of measurement lines
drawn in the same color is limited to nine. To change colors, click another color icon, so
that measurement lines drawn in that color will be assigned numbers separately from
those in other colors.
To redraw a line, use Undo or Redo to cancel or redo your most recent action. Up to
10 recent actions can be retrieved.
Use Clear to erase all the content you’ve now entered. All lines drawn before
confirmation with Paste will be erased.
NOTE: If you draw a measurement line in the middle of Undo or Redo , recent
measurement lines drawn from that point in time cannot be canceled.
4) To save a measurement line to the overlay of the image, press Paste to fix after
drawing it.
5) Press
to return to the menu in which you previously were. Only measurement lines
cofirmed with Paste will be saved. Once the content is fixed as valid, you cannot erase
it unless you erase the entire overlay.
NOTE:
* The display information is interlocked with the menu size. Small characters
are displayed when you are showing a small menu, and large characters are
displayed when you are showing a large menu.
* Normally, values with these functions are labeled with the units "nm," "µm,"
"mm," or "cm." However, if calibration values are selected after inch/mil
conversion, they are labeled "mil," and an "E" is indicated, representing inch
conversion.
* If the microscope connected to your system is the Nikon 80i/90i microscope
with motorized or intelligent nosepiece, note that each calibration value call
number is linked to the hole number of the nosepiece. This means you
cannot change calibration values by selecting s1 through s7 .
Calibration values are automatically changed when you change the
objective.
