Shown right is the XY measurement mode of the
Via-170. Also shown is text and the time/date label. Click on the image for a larger view.
Measures the horizontal (X) dimension, vertical (Y)
dimension, horizontal-vertical (XY) dimension and diagonals (point-to-point).
Calculates the angle
when operators place two or more points to define each leg of an angle, even when the
vertex is not in view. Users can turn on or off a graphic display of the angle as it is
being measured.
Measures the radius and
circumference of a circle when operators place three or more points along the
perimeter of a circular image. Users can turn on or off a graphic display of the circle as
it is being measured.
Statistics mode
with mean, standard deviation, low reading, high reading and range for X, Y, XY,
point-to-point, angle, radius, circumference and area measurements.
Security menu which
allows for marker overlay protect and calibration protect. With this protection enabled
only password holder can alter marker overlays or calibration.
Type text to label
the video image. The text can be positioned anywhere in upper and lower case characters.
Crosslines can be
displayed in one of ten different line patterns. Crosslines can also have an open or
closed intersection and can be auto-centered.
Align mode allows
users to move multiple markers in unison to use as a go/no go gage.
Freehand draw or write
over the video image in choice of three different line thicknesses with an optional light
pen, mouse pen or mouse.
Displays path length of
freehand drawing as drawing takes place with an optional light pen, mouse pen or
mouse.
Calculates the area of
a cell or shape when operators define the cell or shape.
Measures elapsed time
simultaneously with X, Y, XY and point-to-point measurement or independently.
Measures the long and
short chords of a cell or object when operators indicate the extremes of the
perimeter.
Offers a counting mode.
Operators tag each cell or particle to be counted. Up to 10 different categories can be
marked.
Ten different pointers
including arrows, standard cross hairs, a target circle, a small circle, a target box and
a small box.
A sizeable and
positionable reference circle or scale can be created for a quick comparison of
objects or cells to a standard.
Sizeable grids can
overlay the video image to assist in counting.
The current date and
time may be displayed anywhere.
Horizontal, vertical or
diagonal lines may be positioned in one of three different line thicknesses.
Store up to 10 pages of
marker overlays from simple to complex.
The VIA-170 is pictured here with optional
knob controller, light pen and VIA_RGB interface. Click on the image for a larger view.
Up to 10 different calibrations may be stored for future use.
RS-232 output so
that users can transmit ASCII data of measurements and statistics to printers or
computers.
Markers and measurement
lines may be displayed in up to three different colors or shades for optimal contrast
with the video image (color markers will be displayed only if an optional VIA-RGB or
VIA-Y/C interface is being used with RGB or Y/C monitors).
