Loading and Selecting the Operating Language
12 – Choose from the operating Languages currently available for use.
Selecting Load allows you to upload a new version of any of the existing
translations available in the iQ. Once selected, the File Manager screen
allows you to navigate to the modified translation file.
Other System Settings
13 – Setting Power Management to ON conserves battery power by putting
the MViQ into sleep mode after 10 minutes of inactivity. When in sleep mode,
in which only the hard keys remain lit, touching any key or the joystick returns
the iQ to a fully powered state.
Steering Sensitivity Settings
14 – The user can select from two probe steering modes: Steer or Steer-and-
Stay™. Each mode has its own sensitivity adjustment. For both modes, the
factory default sensitivity corresponds to the slider set in the exact middle
of the adjustment range (click here to learn about the differences between
these modes).
Note: The factory default setting provides good steering response for most
inspections. The sensitivity can be adjusted separately for each mode to
optimize the steering for specific inspections or adjust for the preferences
of the inspector. Once adjusted, a sensitivity setting is preserved even when
the system is powered off.
Steer sensitivity: It is recommended that this adjustment be kept at factory
default for most inspections. In this steering mode, the adjustment range
changes the sensitivity of the joystick according to the guidelines below, and
has no effect on steering speed. Full range of camera motion is available
at all sensitivity settings.
Slider at Minimum: Provides more precise steering control when the desired
target is within +/- 45 degrees from the camera at its home position. For
inspections where the areas of interest are primarily concentrated near the
camera's home position this is a useful slider setting.
Slider at middle / factory default: Best for most general inspections.
Provides equal joystick sensitivity for the entire camera range of motion.

Slider at maximum: Provides more precise steering control when the
desired target is located from 45-180 degrees from the camera at its home
position. For inspections where the areas of interest are primarily looking
sideways or even backwards, this is a useful slider setting.
Steer-and-Stay sensitivity: In this steering mode, the speed of camera
motion is controlled by how far off center the joystick is pushed. The
maximum camera speed occurs when the joystick is pushed fully in any
direction. This sensitivity slider adjusts the maximum speed for camera
motion in Steer-and-Stay™ mode.
Slider at Minimum: This reduces the maximum steering speed to roughly
1/2 of factory default. Reducing maximum steering speed may be useful
for inspections using a close focus tip, where the camera is positioned very
close to the surface being inspected, or if steering while using significant
amounts of digital zoom. In these cases, slowing the camera motion down
will provide more precise fine camera control.
Slider at middle / factory default: This is the factory default speed, and is
a good starting point for most inspections.
Slider at maximum: This increases the maximum steering speed. For
systems running OS 3.18 or older, this setting increases maximum steering
speed to approximately 1.3x compared with the factory default. For systems
running OS 3.20 or newer, this setting doubles the maximum steering speed
compared to factory default. Increasing maximum steering speed may
be useful for experienced inspectors, who can use the faster steering to
complete an inspection more quickly.
Note: While using the slider with Steer & Stay or Steer, the effect of the slider
setting can be seen in realtime by moving the camera with the joystick.
