    Measuring Functions Overview of the Measuring Functions Overview of the Measuring Functions You can perform the following measurements using the VISIONREPORT inspection software: Measure cracks You can measure cracks here using the camera’s integral laser. Measure water level You can measure the level of the water in the pipe here. Measure bend You can measure the radius, angle and rotation of a bend here.

  • Page 117: Principle Of The Measuring Function

    Principle of the measuring function Measuring Functions Principle of the measuring function You always have to follow the same principle when measuring the various sizes. First, you must set the virtual pipe projected by the measuring software with its reference lines to your real pipe congruently. This reference target is the basis so that the measuring lines of the measurements output the exact reference and hence the correct measuring result.
