FAQ

Why can’tturn on the microscope normally？

Please check the circuit and power supply according to the installation instructions.

Why can’t I get a clear image？

Please adjust the LED light, object distance, and refocus. If you still can’t get a clear image, please wipe the lens gently with a clean cotton cloth etc.

Why can’tI save the settings?

After all settings are completed, long press the power button to shut down the device. The settings will not be saved if the power is turned off by the power cable or if the power is cut off directly.

Why is there a message of crash, memory card error or memory card full after inserting the TF card?

After inserting the TF card, please format it first. It is recommended to use a high-quality TF card with class 10 and above specifications.

Why is the missing file prompted during the installation of measurement software or program startup?

Please make sure that Microsoft.Net Framework 4.0 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 runtime have been completely installed in the system.

The program has been installed correctly and can be opened and run normally, but why can’t I measure in the software？

Please make sure the hardware is connected correctly, the camera option is shown on the display, and the “OK” button has been pressed.
If the image still cannot be displayed normally, please enter the device manager of the operating system, delete the USB video device, unplug and replug the USB cable, and then click refresh to make the system recognize it again. The video device name after successful identification is “USB Camera”.

Why is the measurement error so large?

If you want to get more accurate results, you need to use a higher precision calibration scale for calibration, and keep the same focal length and magnification as the calibration as much as possible when measuring. Errors in the calibration scale, using the wrong calibration value, changing focal length and magnification, wrong measurement method, and other factors can affect the accuracy of the measurement.

The measurement software does not display the image or display a black screen?

1. Confirm that the microscope is connected to the computer and select“PC Camera”.

2. Use the USB cable instead of the power cable.

3. Check that the computer privacy setting is on.

4. Check if the system is missing Microsoft. Net Framework 4.0 and  Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 runtime.
   Try downloading multiple C++ runtimes.

5. Change other USB interface or other computer to test it.

Why can’tthe image be displayed after connecting an HDMI monitor？

Please check the microscope and HDMI cable, or try to replace the monitor.
