VideometerLab Imaging – Getting Started
We invite you to take a look at the Pre-Training Module before getting started. The general overview for the First Training Module is the following. For each headline, you will find a small video. Each video summarizes what you will have learned in the training module, and it can be used as either preparation or repetition of the training module.
1
Validation of correct installation of the VideometerLab.
No video is available for this headline, as the validation of the installation can only be done during the live training session.
The validation checks if the VideometerLab is installed properly and that the instrument can be initialized and take high quality images.
2
General walkthrough, introduction to the software, help, safety and maintenance instructions.
3
How to perform calibration.
4
How to adjust a proper light-setup.

How to handle VideometerLab Images.
General Walkthrough
Walkthrough of the instrument hardware, safety and maintenance. You will be introduced to the Help menu, where you can find safety instructions, manuals, etc.
We will look into the File menu, including compression settings and Workspaces. How to use the Windows menu will also be explained.
Lastly, some general information about maintenance and controlling the movement of the instrument will be touched upon.
Calibration
We will during the first training module make a calibration of the VideometerLab, and explain options, checks, and policies more carefully.
IMPORTANT: Be aware that the white calibration plate is extra sensitive to dirt and grease. Never touch the white paint on the plate, and only clean it with particle-free air as shown in the video.
Light Setup
How to perform the best possible and very essential light setups will also carefully be explained and shown. As a result, you will be able to acquire the best image results.
