3.3.2.6 Distance Measurement
If the user wishes to measure a distance on the image, VediView
™
can supply the
dimensions of any rectangle drawn in the main window. Drag and click the mouse
to select a rectangle in the main window and then select the "measure rectangle"
icon on the tool bar. A dialogue box will appear, giving the rectangle dimensions
in selectable units. The default units are image pixels. However, if the dimensional
analysis has been calibrated (as in the example) the dimensions will be displayed
in microns (default) or in another selectable unit. When performing calibrated
measurements, the calibration le (*.cal) from which the scaling data are taken will
be displayed in the dialog box. If the calibration has been performed but not saved to
le (not recommended), measurements will be displayed in real units but no lename
will appear in the dialog box.
3.3.3 Data
The data control bar supervises the acquisition, logging and display of experimental
data. Some of the data elds are direct readings of experimental settings (e.g.
temperature), whilst others are derived from selected analysis within a given
experiment (e.g. lumen diameter). These data elds may be displayed graphically
and or logged to le if required. The graphical display is always present on the control
bar but may also be drawn in the main window. Basic controls of the graphics are
supplied (axis ranges, legend) but the display is provided as an experimental monitor
rather than a post-production facility. A large internal data memory is provided so that
the user can scroll back through the graphical record of the parameters, even while
the experiment is running. The logged les may be read into a standard spreadsheet
(e.g. Microsoft excel). High quality graphical reproduction of data elds can then
be created from a standard Ofce application. The pop-up menu on the control bar
(select ) can be used to access all functions and this menu can also be revealed by
a right mouse button click when the Windows cursor is above the control bar. A more
detailed description of the functions available in the data control bar follows under
these sub-headings:
• Selecting Data for Display
• Conguration of Data Display
• Control of Data Display
• Data Logging
