Line Profile

  1. Click the line profile button (right bottom corner in DMA output display pane) to open the Line Profile dialog.

The dialog opens:

 


 

The line profile presents the pixel values of a line (condensed view in upper pane) and of a line fraction (view 1:1 in lower pane).

 

  1. Select the line you want to examine in the Y Position box.
  2. Use the slider to select the part of the line you want to see in detail.
  3. Use the mouse pointer to get information on an individual pixel: Simply go over the lower display (horizontal direction): directly below, you get the pixel position within the line and the gray/color value this pixel has.
  4. Use the Line Profile Controls in the bottom part of the dialog to vary the display of the line:

Zoom (X): Zoom the line fraction you are inspecting in our out.

  • Zooming in: The line fraction you are inspecting gets smaller. You see the color values of a smaller number of line pixels in the lower display. In the upper display, you see that the gray highlighted line section gets smaller. Benefit: The value for each examined pixel is better visible.
  • Zooming out: The line fraction you are inspecting gets bigger. You see the color values of a greater number of line pixels in the lower display. In the upper display, you see that the gray highlighted line section gets broader. Benefit: You get values for a bigger section of the inspected line.

Vertical Marker: Entering a value for the vertical marker allows you to highlight a specific X position (a specific pixel) of the line. This allows you to control how the color/gray values behave before or after a specific pixel in the line.

Horizontal Marker: Entering a value for the horizontal marker allows you to highlight a specific color/gray value in the display. This makes it easy for you to control your success if you don't want to achieve image pixels above or below a specific value. You can adapt your system accordingly (lighting, configurations) and very easily check in the line profile if the result matches your requirements.
