VIA-200

The VIA-200 is pictured here with optional knob controller. Not pictured is standard keyboard and optional light pen.

• Immediate compatibility with RGB, Y/C (S-Video), or composite video sources and displays (no plug-in color interface required).
• CE certified for both NTSC and PAL models.
• Measures the horizontal (X) dimension, vertical (Y) dimension, horizontal-vertical (XY) dimension, and diagonals (point-to point).
• Measures hardness indentations and displays a Knoop X, Knoop Y, Vickers, or Brinell hardness value. Approximate conversion to Rockwell B or C can be displayed.
• Calculates the angle when operators place two or more points to define each leg of an angle, even when the vertex is not in view.
• Measures the radius and circumference of a circle when operators place three or more points along the perimeter of a circular image. Users can turn on or off a graphic display of the circle as it is being measured.
• Statistics mode displays mean, standard deviation, low reading, high reading, and range for X, Y, XY, point-to-point, angle, radius, circumference, area measurements, and hardness values. Up to 500 values can be stored.
• Security Menu allows for marker overlay protect and calibration protect. With this protection enabled, only a password holder can alter marker overlays or calibrations.
• Type text to label the video image. The text can be positioned anywhere in upper and lower case characters.
• Crosslines can be displayed in one of 10 different line patterns. Crosslines can also have an open or closed intersection and can be auto-centered.
• Align mode allows users to move multiple markers in unison to use as a go/no go gage.
• Freehand draw or write over the video image in choice of three different line thicknesses with an optional light pen, mouse pen, or mouse.
• Displays path length of freehand drawing as drawing takes place with optional light pen, mouse pen, or mouse.
• Calculates the area of a cell or shape when operators define the cell or shape.
• Up to 10 different calibrations may be stored for future use.
• Measures the long and short chords of a cell or object when operators indicate the extremes of the perimeter.
• Offers a counting mode. Operators tag each cell or particle to be counted. Up to 10 different categories can be marked.
• 10 different pointers including arrows, standard cross hairs, a target circle, a small circle, a target box, and a small box.
• A timer may be started and stopped to track events on the screen.
• A sizeable and positionable reference circle, box, or scale can be created for a quick comparison of objects to a standard.
• Sizeable grids can overlay the video image to assist in counting.
• The current date and time may be displayed anywhere on the image.
• Horizontal, vertical, or diagonal lines may be positioned in one of three different line thicknesses.
• Stores up to 10 pages of marker overlays from simple to complex.
• Measures elapsed time simultaneously with X, Y, XY, and point-to-point measurement, or independent of measurements.
• RS-232 output so that users can transmit ASCII data of measurements and statistics to printers or computers.
• Markers and measurement lines may be displayed in up to three different colors or shades for optimal contrast with the video image.
• On-screen display of marker position and marker size.
• Hide or show markers at the touch of a key to instantly view the video image alone or with the markers.
• On-screen help.
• A brief demonstration of features can be activated to give a quick overview while training others.
