Only when the measurement process is terminated will the Camera  Control Panel pop up by moving mouse to the left side of the video window). Left-clicking button to achieve Display/ Auto Hide switch of the Camera Control Panel;

6.3 The Measurement Toolbar On The Upper Side Of The Video Window
6.3.1 Introduction to Measurement Toolbar
The Measurement Toolbar will pop up when moving the mouse to any place near the upper side of the video window. Here is the introduction of the various functions on the Measurement Toolbar:

Show up/ Hide mode
| Select the desired Measurement Unit
| Choose the same Magnification as the digital microscope current Zoom Ratio to ensure accuracy of measurement result when measurement unit is not in Pixel unit
| Object Select| | Point
---|---|---|---
Angle| Four-point method to measure the angle
Arbitrary Line| Three-Point method to measure the spacing
Three-Point method to measure vertical line| Parallel Line
Horizontal Line| Vertical Line
Rectangle| Center + Radius Circle
Three-points  Circle| Ellipse
Annulus| Two Circles
Three-points Two Circles| Arc
Polygon| Curve
Arrow| Scale Bar
| Make Calibration to determine the corresponding relation between magnification and resolution, this will establish the
corresponding relationship between the measurement unit and the sensor pixel size. The monitor’s size can be input to achieve the accurate value of the digital magnification. The Calibration needs to be done with the aid of a ruler with an  accuracy of more than 1mm. The detailed Calibration process is described in Sec. 6.3.2
---|---
| Export the measurement information to CSV file(*.csv)
Delete all the Measurement Objects
Setting
| Exit from Current Measurement Mode

When the measurement ends, left click on a single measuring object and the Object Location & Properties Control Bar will show up. The icons on the control bar mean  Move Left, Move Right, Move Up, Move Down, Color Adjustment, and Delete.

Note:

1.  When the user left-clicks Display/Hide button on the Measurement Toolbar, the Measurement
   Toolbar will be fixed. In this case, the Camera Control Panel will not pop up automatically even if moving the mouse cursor to the left side of the video window. Only when  users left-click the button on the Measurement Toolbar to exit from the measurement mode will they be able to perform other operations in the Camera Control Panel, the Autofocus Control Panel, or the Synthesis Camera Control Toolbar .

2. When a specific measuring object is selected during the measuring process, the Object Location & Attributes Control Bar will appear for changing the object location and properties of the selected objects.

3. To ensure accuracy of the measurement, after the calibration is turned on, the camera will automatically reset, and then sets the normalization magnification to 20X, and  adjusts the focus to the required standard object distance.
   If the “Calibration Object” on the stage is not clear on the monitor, you need to manually adjust the height of the bracket to the clearest position, which is the standard  object distance. After the Calibration is completed, use the Measurement Toolbar to measure the 1mm physical distance on the ruler, which should display 1mm on the monitor.

4. Even if the Calibration has been completed, once the user needs to measure, but is not sure whether the camera is at the standard object distance position, it is always  better to reset it first, adjust the stand height in the reset state to see object clear, and ensure that the camera is at the standard object distance position before  measurement.

6.3.2 Calibration Method
User needs to prepare a Calibration Object such as ruler before Calibration;
Move the mouse to the upper side of the video window, the Measurement Toolbar will appear. Clicking
Calibration on the Measurement Toolbar to start the calibration.

1. The DeltaPix 4KView will pop up a message box: “1. Camera resetting for calibration…”
2. After the reset is finished, a message box: “2. Please put the calibration object on the stage (if not), adjust the height of the stand until the calibration object is in focus,  then click OK button; ” will pop up.
3. After clicking the OK Button, DeltaPix 4KView will pop up a Calibration dialog shown below:

Figure 6-2 A Dialog for Calibration

Magnification:| the Magnification edit box, can be set from 1 to 20 as user want, Click Apply button to confirm;
---|---
Actual Length:| the Actual Length of the Calibration object on the stage, the unit can be selected with the right drop-down list box. Read the hint on the Calibration dialog to get the correct Calibration result;
Monitor Size:| the Monitor Size in Inch for the magnification calculation of the object displayed on the monitor;
Pixel:| the length in Pixel of the Calibration Line on the monitor;
Resolution:| the resolution in Pixel/Meter unit which is arrived by Pixel/Actual Length;
OK:| Click OK button to end the Calibration;
Users can refer to he message: “3. Please adjust the length and position of the calibration line until it is aligned with the calibration object. Then write down the actual dimension of the calibration object in the actual length edit box, and click OK.” to get the correct calibration result.

The default monitor size is 27.0 inches. Users can enter the practical Monitor Size.

6.4 Synthesis Camera Control Toolbar At The Bottom Of The Video Window

The Setting function is relatively more complicated than the other functions. Here is more info about it:

6.4.1 Setting >Measurement

Image Format| JPEG: The extension of JPEG file can get very high compression rate and display very rich and vivid images by removing redundant images and color data. In other words, it can get better image quality with the least disk space. If measurement objects are available, the measurement objects will be burned into the image and the measurement cannot be edited.
TIFF: TIFF is a flexible bitmap format mainly used to store images including photos and artistic images.
---|---
Measurement Object Saving Method| Burn in Mode: The measurement objects are merged into the current image. User could not edit the measurement objects any more. This mode is not reversable.
Layered Mode: The measurement objects are saved in different layer with current image data in the target file. User could edit the measurement objects in the target file with some software on the PC. This mode is reversable.
