3.2 Adjustments for Optimum Scan Results
• Lens focussing
• Sensor alignment
• Gain/Offset
• Shading correction
• Integration time
• Synchronization of the sensor exposure and
the object surface velocity, trigger mode
options
Prior to a scan, the following adjustments and parameter settings should be considered for optimum scan
signals:
Start with the signal window / oscilloscope display. Any changes in the optical system or camera parameters
are displayed in real-time when using an open dialog box.
Lens Focussing
To focus a line scan camera, the variations in edge steepness at dark/bright transitions and the modulation of the
line scan signal are desisive.
• Adjust the focus using a fully opened aperture to restrict the depth of field and to amplify the effects of focus
adjustments.
• A fully open aperture might cause a too high a signal amplitude, in which case the integration time should be
shortened, as described in Integration Time, p. 13.
Out of focus: edges are indistinct, signal
peaks blurred with low density modulation
Optimum focus: dark-bright transitions are
sharp edged, highly modulated signal
peaks with high frequency density
variations
