USERS MANUAL
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the FZ3 Series. This manual provides information regarding functions, performance and operating methods that are required for using the FZ3 Series. When using the FZ3 Series, be sure to observe the following: · The FZ3 Series must be operated by personnel knowledgeable in electrical engineering. · To ensure correct use, please read this manual thoroughly to deepen your understanding of the product. [. . . ] The binary level is not held constant. Stable binary images can be obtained by taking the difference between the input image and that input image after it has been subject to brightness averaging. This option is effective when the lighting is unstable.

Description Specify the level for converting 256-tone grayscale images to binary images. Adjust the binary level so that the measurement object is converted to white pixels. You can also set the binary level so that only intermediate density is measured. Optimum binary levels are calculated automatically and set.

Setting item
Set value [Factory default] 0 to 127 [5]
Description This sets the offset for the difference between the input image and that input image after it has been subject to brightness averaging. The higher this value, the easier it is to extract locations (such as edges) with large density difference. This item reverses black and white colors.

Setting item
Set value [Factory default]
Description Set the region to extract. Light: Pixels brighter than the pixels around them are treated as white pixels. Dark: Pixels darker than the pixels around them are treated as white pixels. Equal: Pixels with minimum density difference from the pixels around them are treated as white pixels. Not equal: Pixels with large density difference from the pixels around them are treated as white pixels. Specify the filter size for brightness averaging processing. Match this size to the size of the location you want to extract. This sets the offset for the difference between the input image and that input image after it has been subject to brightness averaging. The higher this value, the easier it is to extract locations (such as edges) with large density difference. This item reverses black and white colors.

Region Setting (Labeling+)
This item is used to set up the measurement area. It is possible to measure the entire input image, but restricting the range enables accurate measurement in a short period of time. Use a rectangle, straight line, circle (ellipse), wide circle, or polygon to specify a measurement region for [Labeling+].
1. The measurement region is registered and displayed in the Image Display area.

Reference Position (Labeling+)
This item can be changed if necessary. When the region is set, the reference position is automatically set at the center of gravity of the measurement region. In the same way for the reference area, when the region settings are made, they are set automatically based on the measurement region. This item can be used to change the reference position to any desired position.
1. In the Image Display area, the current reference position will be displayed as the crosshair cursor. Tap the position to be set as the reference position.
