The MLA offers further elements beside the main menu that facilitate handling the
exposure and alignment processes.
7.1 Control Panel
The Control Panel is a utility that provides navigation functions as well as other
necessary control functions.
In the Camera Control frame, the button for selecting the available cameras are
arranged. A selection is done by clicking the button for the camera of choice. The
camera is then activated. The information about the field of view of the different
cameras helps to make the decision which on to choose for the current application. For
alignment it is recommended to use the High Res camera as its high resolution is best
for alignment procedures
Below these you find one Focus slider for setting the camera focus and a Brightness
slider for setting the brightness of the camera image.
Click on the slider and keep the mouse button held down while moving it to the desired
value on the slider bar. Alternatively, click on the slider bar and use the cursor keys for
moving the slider along the bar. The tick marks on the focus slider bar are for your
orientation within the range from −10 to +10 so the center tick mark sets the focus to 0.
