Page 22: Image Focus Control
4.1.4 Image Focus Control The Z-axis stage control adjusts the image focus. Focus is also partly dependent on magnification. See the General Operation Considerations section below for tips on best adjustment of focus and magnification. The Z axis is controlled by the joystick’s center knob; see Figure 3 - 6. 4.1.5 Lighting Control In CNC systems, light intensity is adjusted in software via the QC5300 Controller. -
Page 23: Magnification Control
4.2.1 Magnification Control Video magnification is controlled via preset levels. These are configured during system calibration to precisely control Field-of-View measurements at each magnification. Ten preset magnification levels are available via buttons labeled LO, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, M8, M9, HI at the top of the video window. -
