Frequently Asked Questions
How do I change the IP address of the MultiSight sensor?
Proceed as described in “Network Settings” and “Setting the IP Address of the MultiSight
Sensor” sections on pages 11 and 15, respectively.
What is the easiest way of testing the connection to the MultiSight?
In the start menu of the operating system, click on “Run” and then “cmd.” In the window
which appears, enter the command “Ping” and then the MultiSight IP address:
e.g., ping 192.168.100.100
If all connections are correct, and the sensor and the PC address section are identical and the
MultiSight is ready for operation, the command “Ping” will produce a positive signal. If not,
re-check your network configurations and consult your network administrator.
How do I avoid image dissipation and reflections (indicated by light-colored areas of the
image)?
Mount the MultiSight and set the shutter manually. Adjust the illumination of the object and
avoid fluctuations in brightness, e.g. due to ambient light.
I am getting dissipation of image and brightness for the same object. The brightness
values at the edge of the illuminated image zone differ from image to image. What can
I do?
Set the shutter to “Manual” in the window “Detector Parameters” and set the slide so that
there is no fluctuation in brightness. Generally speaking, a higher shutter value causes slight
overexposure, but also produces a more consistent result.
Reflections occur when the alignment or position are changed slightly, e.g., an impression
which varies in brightness. How can I get a more consistent image?
Mount the MultiSight at an angle of 10…15° so that it is at a slight angle to the reflecting
surface (see the illustration on page 7). Or select another position for the pattern screen in
which the reflections do not adversely affect pattern detection (see “Installation” on page 6).
