Measurement Accuracy
(not limited to pixel size)

0.1 µm processing resolution for interpolated diameters. Absolute accuracy is beam profile dependent – ~1 µm accuracy is frequently achievable.  Centroid accuracy is also beam dependent. It can be as good as ±1 µm since it is arithmetically determined from all pixels above the centroid clip level.

Processing Options

Image & profile Averaging, 1, 5, 10, 20, Continuous.
Background Capture and Subtraction.
User set rectangular Capture Block for capture
User set or Auto ellipse Inclusion region with beam tracking for processing
*.ojf files save all WinCamD custom settings for particular test configurations

Update Rates

~5 Hz maximum for full frame, full screen. Higher for small Capture Blocks

Pass/Fail display

On-screen selectable Pass/Fail colors. Ideal for QA & Production.
