General notes on the functions
As a general rule, "click" means pointing and then briefly pressing the
left mouse button (except where the text expressly says you should use
the right mouse button).
In this instruction manual "drag" means moving the mouse pointer whilst
keeping the left mouse button pressed down.
If in the video area the mouse pointer changes from "crosshair" to
"arrow" then the object can now be clicked on and dragged or moved.
Mouse pointer, here as: standard crosshair
Mouse pointer as arrow: drag to make fine
adjustments to the measured value
Mouse pointer as arrow: drag to shift the
measured value
The measured values shown can be moved (e.g. to the upper left corner).
Fine adjustments can also be made subsequently to the measurement
lines of the measurements:
Important: make sure no measurement or reference object is active -
in other words, first switch from " Measure " -> " Off ".
This can also be done by clicking on: .
For many measurements the subsequent fine adjustment is not really
sensible and has been omitted, for example for polygon areas and
chain dimensions. Also, for text associated with a circle or arrow, only
the text marks can be moved.
Please note that when entering numeric data, the decimal point
depends on the operating system and depending on the country it can
be either a comma or a dot! The measurement program can work with both
number formats.
You can use the DoubleCheck function to display two live images next to
each other, e.g. when making fine adjustments, or to compare a stored image
with the live image.
