• Attach a stereo optical adapter to the distal end of a

scope while the live screen is displayed.

Select the stereo optical adapter to be used in the

adapter selection screen, and press the [MEAS/ENTER]

joystick.

Confirm the name of the stereo optical adapter and the

set number, and then select "OK". Press the

[MEAS/ENTER] joystick.

• When using a stereo optical adapter for the first time,

installation will be required. Select the [NEW STEREO

ADAPTER] option from the menu and follow the

on-screen directions. For full details please refer to the

instruction manual.

• Immediately after executing stereo measurement or

selecting "METHOD" in the stereo measurement

screen, the measurement method (measurement mode)

selection screen is displayed.

• Refer to the following page for the usable measurement

method (measurement mode). (Some functions are not

available for LX.)

• Tilt the [ZOOM] lever toward [W] to activate the

measuring distance to object function.

• Highest accuracy is achieved when green zone is

displayed in object distance. To achieve highest

measurement accuracy, bring the insertion tube to an

object as close as possible.

• Push the

[MEAS/ENTER]

joystick to proceed

to the stereo

measurement

screen.

• Object distance is

ceaselessly

MEASUREMENT METHOD (MEASUREMENT MODE)

A DISTANCE

Distance mode is for measuring the line segment between

two measurement points
1. Place the cursor on one end of the line segment and press

MEAS/ENTER on the joystick to specify point A.

2. Place the cursor on the other end of the line segment and press

MEAS/ENTER on the joystick to specify point B.

The length of line segment A-B is displayed.

Point-to-Line and offset mode are for measuring the distance

from a measurement point to the reference line defined by

two points. In Offset mode, an offset line will additionally be

displayed from the measurement point, in parallel to the

reference line.
1. Place the cursor on both ends of the line segment and press

MEAS/ENTER on the joystick to specify points A and B.

Reference line A-B is shown.

2. Place the cursor on the point from which you want to measure the

distance to reference line A-B and press MEAS/ENTER on the

joystick to specify point C.

The distance between reference line A-B and point C (or Offset

Line) is displayed. (Offset mode is only available for IPLEX FX

models.)

B POINT-TO-LINE

C OFFSET (FX only)

D DEPTH

Depth mode is for measuring the distance from a

measurement point to the reference plane defined by three

reference points.
1. Place the cursor on points A, B and C to define the reference

plane, then press MEAS/ENTER on the joystick to specify points

A, B and C.

Reference plane ABC is shown.

2. Place the cursor on the point from which you want to measure the

distance to reference plane ABC and press MEAS/ENTER on the

joystick to specify measurement point D.

The distance between reference plane ABC and point D is

displayed. A positive value (height) means the point is closer to

the tip of the scope than the reference plane, and a negative

value (depth) means the point is farther away.

E AREA/LINES (FX only)

Area mode is for measuring the area defined by multiple

measurement points. Lines mode is for measuring the total

length of lines defined by multiple measurement points.
1.

Place the cursor on points to define the area/lines and press

MEAS/ENTER on the joystick to specify the measurement points.

The total length of lines defined by multiple measurement points is

displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Note:

Up to 20 measurement points can be specified per measurement

session.

When measuring an area, one additional point must be positioned to

define the complete subject outline. This point (point 6 in the example

above) needs to be located where the line between this point and the

last point (point 5) cross across the first drawn line.

The area enclosed by lines is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

F PROFILE (FX only)

Profile mode is for displaying the surface profile of a line

connecting two points.
1. Place the cursor on both ends of the

line whose surface profile you want to

inspect and press MEAS/ENTER on

the joystick to specify the two points.

The surface profile obtained by

sectioning a target object with the plane

defined by the line connecting two

specified points and the optical center

is displayed. The surface profile

graphics overlaid on the right screen

show the profile viewed from the

direction perpendicular to the optic

axis.

G MULTI (FX only)

Multi mode automatically detects and displays the

measurement values of a region specified by two

reference points. The width, depth and surface area

of any missing material will be measured.

1. Place the cursor on each side of the material loss and press

[MEAS/ENTER] on the joystick to specify the reference points.

The region of missing material will be drawn in the left and right

screen. The width, depth and area dimension of missing material

will be displayed at the bottom of screen.
