Basic Visualization of the Sensor Output

Signal Window / Oscilloscope Display
The signal window plots the digitalized brightness profile as signal intensity (y-axis) versus the sensor length (x-axis)
at a high refresh rate. The scaling of the y-axis depends on the resolution of the A/D converter: The scale range is
from 0 to 255 for 8-bits and from 0 to 4095 for 12-bits. The scaling of the x-axis corresponds with the number of
pixels in the line sensor.
B
Line scan in oscilloscope display (brightness vs. pixel number)
Zoom Function
For high numbers of sensor pixels, the limited number of display pixels might be out of range, in which case the
zoom function can be used to visualize the brightness profile in detail. Magnification of one or several sections of
the signal allows individual pixels to be resolved for a detailed evaluation of the line scan signal.
Window Split Function
B
The signal window can be split horizontally into two sections. Use the split handle at the top of the vertical scroll bar
and afterwards arrange the frames with the zoom buttons in the toolbar.
