Instruction Manual, Oct-16 8
2.6 Settings in visionCATS
Reference point
Under Options/General Setting/ Global Configuration the setting „TLC Visualizer 2
uses the same reference point as a TLC Scanner 3/4” is active by default. This sets
the reference point as on the TLC Scanner, ATS 4 and Linomat 5. If active, the
plate has to be inserted with the application position first. If the instrument is used
to check the plate through the viewing flap or if the reference point has to be
identical as in first generation CAMAG TLC Visualizer, this option has to be
disabled in visionCATS. The plate has to be inserted with the solvent front first
To change the reference point:
• Go to Options/General Setting/ Global Configuration
• Under Analysis deactivate the point “TLC Visualizer 2 uses the same
reference point as a TLC Scanner 3/4”
• Save the setting
Set the lens focal length
• Double click the TLC Visualizer in the “Instruments” window
• In the “Properties” sub-tab, under “Lens” choose the correct focal length
for the lens of this specific CAMAG TLC Visualizer
• Save the setting
If this setting was changed (by accident or the lens had to be changed), the
Diagnostics session needs to be re-done.
Electronic adjustment
To record images with the correct settings (white adjustment and position), the
Diagnostics session has to be performed.
• Double click on the instrument icon in the “Instruments” window
• Chose the subtab “Diagnostics”
• Press “Start” and follow the instructions
To display images with the correct colour, you will need a calibrated PC screen
To print images (on reports or exported) with the highest possible consistency
between screen and printed image, the printer has to be calibrated. Printed images
appear different as the printer parameters (resolution and colour depth) are
different to those of the PC screen.
