Find and View Images
The TS System allows the user to save images in several locations. The location
is selected in the PREF screen. The system has a built-in hard drive with at least
25 GB of storage space that can be used.
To save images in the USB drive, make sure a USB drive is plugged in. If one is
not plugged in, the TS software will automatically prompt the user for a location.
It is not possible to view saved images on the software screen. To view images
captured and saved from the TS system, different software is required.
To view 8-bit JPEG or GIF images, exit to Windows and open Windows Image
Viewer or other comparable software program. To exit the TS software interface
and go to Microsoft Windows, touch the WINDOW ICON located at the bottom
right corner.
To view 16-bit TIFF images, open VisionWorksLS or comparable program
(contact UVP Tech Support for recommendations). VisionWorksLS may be
included with the system. To check, go to Start > All Programs > UVP >
VisionWorks or look for the VisionWorks icon on the desktop.
