Issue

How do I tell Sensoft Vision the serial number of the sensor? Why is this information needed?

 

Solution

The information is needed since every sensor is slightly different, be it in sensitivity or slit width. Sensoft Vision takes this into account by loading a calibration file that is unique for each sensor.

Vision hardware settings dialog

Figure 1: Hardware settings

To specify the employed sensor, go to page Settings, click on Show advanced settings and then click on the button Hardware settings...

In the dialog window that opens (Figure 1), select the sensor Type (typically PXL) and Calibration. In Calibration select the entry with the serial number of the sensor, which is written on the connector that is plugged into the Sensystem.

Exit the dialog by pressing OK and to save the settings.
