Initially an automatic adjustment is made which makes the darkest part of the picture black, and the
lightest white. Anytime you want to revert back to the unprocessed image, press the <Stretch Contrast>
button again.
e) Image processing
Select the “Image enhancement” tab to set up the choice of enhancement
Then click on the Image Enhance button
Each filter can also be applied at different strengths by the use of the strength slider.
f) Colored images
The machine can convert the black and white image to a false color image. Press the <Pseudo color>
button . Use <Stretch contrast> to change the gray level and hence the color representation.
g) 3-D images
The machine can convert an image into a 3-D contour drawing. The height of the part depends on the
amount of X-rays absorbed. Press the <Pseudo 3-D> button .
f) Negative Images
It is sometimes useful to view the X-ray image in inverse at the click of a button.
Note some of the buttons on the inspect screen have colored status lamps. These indicate whether the
selected process is waiting or complete. Yellow means wait. Green means complete.
VIEWING AT AN ANGLE
One of the most useful features of the XD series machines is the ability to view at an angle of up to
67 degrees anywhere on the part and at any magnification.
The object of interest will stay in the picture provided the height has been set. Choose a part to view at
low magnification. Left click anywhere on the “dartboard” to change the angle of view, you may also
click on the green buttons for an overhead view. The red cross shows the current view position.
