Description
The VMU810 has been replaced by the VMU850. The VMU850 retains all of the features of the VMU810 but is in a different enclosure. Please contact MicroImage Video Systems for more information. The VMU850 is in full production.
The new VMU810 offers all of the features of the VMU800 plus a few new features including:
- A new menu system that is cleaner and is compatible with the VMU310 and VMU210
- A standard RS232 serial control port with selectable baud rates to control or receive information from the VMU
- A new ratio feature, the ratio of H/V a or V/H can be displayed on screen along with or independent from the dimension readings.
The VMU series of video calipers from MicroImage Video Systems utilize extensive digital processing to maintain high accuracy and repeatability. Usable with most video cameras, the VMU810 provides fast, efficient and affordable non-contact measurement. Units are compatible with HDMI and DVI progressive video standards up to 1200p60.
The MicroImage VMU series of video measurement units are designed to be highly flexible and powerful, yet easy to use. Unlike analog based units, all mathematics are done digitally, allowing the VMU series to maintain consistent precision regardless of the scale factor. All lines are digitally rendered for solid, repeatable performance over time without drift. High precision optical encoders are used for the position controls, eliminating jitter which can plague analog based measurement devices.
Using the VMU is easy. A size reference is placed in the field of view and the cursors are moved to the reference dimensions. The calibration value is entered on the keypad and can be set to the X or Y axis. This provides far more range and precision than using a rotary control to set calibration. From this point on, the unit is calibrated, provided the distance to the object or magnification (zoom) doesn’t change. Nine memories are provided to store multiple calibrations for different optics/magnifiers, saving significant time. In addition, each memory can be labeled to make recall easier. The units remember all settings in non-volatile memory when turned off.
The readout display can be moved virtually anywhere on the screen. Any combination of x, y, diagonal, H/V ratio, V/H ratio measurements plus time and date can be displayed at the same time. The color and background of the readout display can be changed , as well as the color of each of the lines. Any line can independently be turned off, displayed as solid, or serrated with many styles for maximum flexibility.
A number of additional features have been added to simplify day to day usage. Cursors may be moved fully independently, may be moved in pairs where one control moves both cursors on the same axis and the second control changes the spacing between them or use mirror movement where one control moves both lines and the other control adjusts the separation based on the center point between them. Each control may be independently locked to avoid inadvertent adjustment and there are separate locks for the X and the Y movement. Controls can also be independently locked from within the menu system, regardless of the state of the lock button as further protection against accidental change. The lines may be displayed full screen or can be displayed as a box on screen. A front panel bypass switch allows the user to quickly turn the line and readout display off or on as needed.
All VMU series products can be powered from a clean +12VDC, negative ground power source. MicroImage Video Systems can provide board level product, private labeling or even custom functions. The units are based on a new MicroImage Video platform which is highly flexible and programmable. All units carry a one year parts and labor limited warranty.
At MicroImage Video Systems, we incorporate suggestions from customers when possible. Several customers have suggested password protection so that calibration settings could not be changed. We added this capability to all production units with several levels of password protection. It also has a programmable auto time out feature. In the event a key is not pressed within a certain amount of time, the protection is automatically re-enabled. This is important in case it becomes forgotten after a setting is changed. Password protection can also be disabled for easy access in a safe environment.
Rack mount units are not available for this product.
This unit is RoHS compliant.
The VMU810 is available packaged (cased) or as a board level product for OEM applications. Power is provided by a universal
power supply (included with cased products) or it can be operated from +12VDC (negative ground). Board level products do not include the power supply and a 12VDC power source must be provided. The unit is packaged in a durable metal enclosure. Board Level, OEM and Custom products are also available. Please contact MicroImage Engineering for additional information.
The VMU810 has a one year parts and labor limited warranty.
