Measurement Functions
Distances and areas in the image can be measured. The measure-
ments are possible by using the hand switch buttons or the mouse
connected to the control box D21-CB.
}The scale should be set before measurements. For the setting method, see Scale Display Setting (p. 38).
}The measurement data can be displayed either on the live image alone or on both the live and recorded images. For the
selection method, see Scale Display Range Setting (p. 40).
}We recommend you to use the same live resolution as the image quality mode during recording.
If the live resolution is different from the image quality mode, the measurement result may be shifted.
}If text input is required, connect the keyboard to the control box D21-CB.
}The measurement functions are simplified functions based on the CCD pixels and are not suitable for precise measure-
ments. If precise measurements are required, use appropriate measuring instruments.
}The measurement result is displayed to the fourth place of significant figures with the distance, to the fifth places of
significant figures with the angle, and to the seventh places of significant figures with the area. The unit used in the
measurement result display cannot be changed.
}The display result is displayed near the drawn line or circle. It is not possible to change the display position, the font, the
line thickness and the number of displayed digits.
