GARANT VG Basic pre-setting device
The measurement function seeks out the maximum X and Z val-
ues in the live image and constructs from these values a vertical
and a horizontal line.
The intersection of these two lines gives the coordinates of the
en
constructed point.
When the tool is moved, the coordinates of the intersection
point of the vertical and horizontal lines are recalculated in the
live image.

In the measured value window by contrast, if the tool is moved no
significant change in the coordinates is evident in the live image.

Fixed cross hair
Measurement function to display the position of the centre of
the cross hair in the live image, in the X and Z coordinates.
1. Release the locking of the quick adjustment, move the tower
and optical unit into position.
2. Use the infinite fine adjustment to bring the tool into the field of
view of the camera.
3. Use the dynamic focus display to adjust the maximum focus.
4. Use the fine adjustment to move the cutting edge to the cross
hair.

Total image
The total image function can be combined with other measure-
ment functions.
1. After activation, rotate the tool through 360°.
» The tool contour will be displayed in the live image.
2. Switch on the optional dynamic cross hair, to read off the X-val-
ues and Z-values from the measurement value window.

Red line as long as the cutting
edge is not near.
The line switches to orange as the
cutting edge comes closer to the
line.
The line switches to green when
the cutting edge is touching the
line. Colour orange, if the cutting
edge has crossed the line.

1. Select the radius template or angle template.
2. Using the panel PC touch screen to move the radius or angle to
the desired position.
3. Use the slider or +/- to move the radius or angle to suit.
4. If desired, print a label.

Dynamic focus display
i
Focus display for focussing on a feature of a tool. Always active
when in measurement mode.
1. Rotate the tool until the black measurement beam has moved
as far as possible into the green coloured area.
2. As soon as the measurement beam has wandered off to the left,
rotate the tool back until the maximum deflection is once again
achieved.
» Tool focussed by computer.

DELIMITING A LIVE IMAGE AND MEASUREMENT RANGE
i
Every measurement function operates across the entire range of
the live image; the measurement range can be restricted.
1. Press with a finger or click with the mouse cursor on the touch
screen of the live image; the blue rectangle will appear.
» The measurement range can be moved and its size can be
changed.
2. To change the size, briefly click on the desired position in the
live image.
3. To move the position, keep the blue rectangle depressed.
4. To end the restriction of the measurement range, reselect the
measurement function.
