1. Under Field selection, for example, select field set 1.
2. Select the field to be configured.
3. Make the required optimizations, see description in the following sections.
Shifting field positions
1.
Button .
2. Click on the green marking rectangle of the desired field position in the outer field.
✓
The color of the marker square changes to blue.
3. Re-click the rectangle and drag it to the desired position, then release the push‐
button.
✓
SOPAS controls the available positioning area during shifting.
Inserting additional field positions
1.
Button .
2. Click on the desired position on the limits of the outer field.
✓
SOPAS inserts a new green marker square. This can also be shifted.
Deleting field points
1.
Button .
2. Click on the green marking rectangle of the field position to be deleted in the outer
field.

SOPAS removes the marker square and instead connects the two nearest marker
squares with a new line.
Rotating the field pair and device around the central axis
►
In order to align the position of the field pair in SOPAS to the conditions on site
from the user´s perspective, enter and confirm the desired angle of rotation in the
0.0° input. A negative “-” sign sets the turning direction to the right.
Setting up the contour as reference field
In each field set, any field can be selected as a contour as reference field.
The contour as reference field is used to monitor contours. This can be used to check
whether the background is still recognized correctly. If this is no longer the case,
possible reasons are that the device is covered or rotated.
The same evaluation strategy is used for all contour as reference fields (evaluation time
and blanking size).
