7.6 Position the Specimen by Using the Mouse (XDLM 237)
XDLM 237: The instrument is equipped with a motor-driven measuring stage. You can position the
specimen by using the mouse, while the measurement chamber door is closed (Point & Shoot).
Before you begin
You have already (roughly) positioned the specimen (see Chap. 7.5 on Page 53).
Procedure
To position the specimen by using the mouse:
1. Position the mouse pointer in the video field on the desired measurement spot.
2. Press the left mouse button.
The measuring stage moves to the desired measurement location.
To position the specimen by using joystick function of the mouse:
1. Position the cursor at the center of the crosshairs in the video image.
2. Press and hold down the right mouse button. Moving the mouse will now control the X/Y/Z
stage drive:
The angle position of the cursor relative to the center of the crosshairs controls the direction of
the X/Y/Z stage movement.
The distance of the cursor from the center of the crosshairs controls the speed of the X/Y/Z
stage movement.
3. To stop the movement, release the right mouse button.
The speed of the stage movement can be set by the Service engineer.
What you can do next
You can now perform measurements.
