### Probe Toolbox: Magnification tab

Probe Toolbox - Magnification tab

The Magnification tab lets you change the current FOV camera magnification. It also provides a way for you to simultaneously view both the Cad View and Live View of the Graphics Display window. For information on using these tabs in the Graphics Display window, see "Using the Graphics Display Window in PC-DMIS Vision".

Two values for magnification are displayed – Optical and Actual.

Optical is the magnification size on the CCD array of the camera. This will not change when the Live View display is resized.

Actual is the magnification size on the Live View window. This will increase and decrease as the Live View window is made bigger and smaller.

When the Magnification tab of the Probe Toolbox is open, the Live View displays:

FOV=: This overlay value displays the size of the FOV in the part program units of measurement. This only appears on the screen when you have the Magnification tab selected from the Probe Toolbox.

[0]=: This overlay number reflects your current level of magnification (pixel size). As you zoom in closer to the part this number decreases in size. The closer the number approaches zero, the closer your machine approaches its maximum magnification. This only appears on the screen when you have the Magnification tab selected from the Probe Toolbox.
