System Overview

The rugged and dependable Everest Mentor Visual iQ+ (MVIQ+) system is an advanced flexible video borescope used for Remote Visual Inspection (RVI).
Working through access passages, the MVIQ+ system delivers high-resolution images of internal details of turbine engines, airframes, automotiveengines, piping, vessels, wind-turbine gear boxes, underwater structures, etc.
With TrueSight™, MVIQ+ delivers HD visuals, a high-intensity light source, and superior visual processing, for clearer, sharper videos and still images righton your device. The probe’s fiberoptic bundle illuminates the inspection area with light generated by an advanced Light Engine in the probe. At the endof the probe, a miniature camera assembly converts the image into an electronic image, and sends it back through the probe. The system displays
the image on the handset. No focusing is required, because the MVIQ+ system contains a fixed-focus optical system with a large depth of field.
Measurement capabilities (standard with the MVIQ+ Pro configuration) allow your system to analyze and measure indications and features. Real3D™
provides a fully surfaced point cloud of the target surface to view, manipulate and optimize measurement cursor locations.
The MVIQ+ system is compatible with USB thumb drives, USB keyboards, USB portable drives, and most other USB-based storage devices.
With our QuickChange™ interchangeable probes, you can quickly reconfigure the system for maximum productivity.
Available in three versions; Start, Enhance, and Pro configurations. MVIQ+ is able to meet diverse inspection needs across industries. Refer to the guideon the following page to determine the right one for your application.

the probe.
2 – Rotate the probe towards the back of the handset, applying enough pressure forthe latching mechanism to “click.”
To remove the probe from the handset:
3 – Press this latching-mechanic's release button to separate the probe and handset.

Changing the Optical Tip

Optical tips are threaded onto the probe with a double set of threads to prevent themfrom falling into the inspection area. Each optical tip provides a unique depth of field,
field of view, and direction of view. For a list of available Optical tips.
Caution—Use only finger pressure to remove or attach Optical tips. Using force(including pliers or other tools) might damage the bending neck. Take care not tocross the threads. To reduce cross-threading risk: When installing a tip by hand
(6.1mm & 8.4mm) or with an installation tool (4mm), rotate the tip counter clockwise
to level the threads before rotating clockwise to thread the tip on the camera. Reverse
the leveling process when removing Optical tips.
To Remove an Optical Tip: Support the bending neck and head of the probe with one
hand, and with the other gently turn the optical tip counterclockwise (be sure to use
a tip tool when removing 4.0 mm Optical tips), Turn until the tip spins freely, indicatingthat it has cleared the first set of threads. Gently pull the tip away from probe andcontinue turning counterclockwise, engaging the second set of threads. Turn until you
can remove it.
To Attach an Optical Tip: Verify that the optical tip and camera head threads are clean,
then grasp the head of the probe with one hand, and with the other gently turn the tip
clockwise. Turn until it spins freely, indicating that it has cleared the first set of threads.
Gently push the tip in, then turn clockwise again, engaging the second set of threads.
Turn until finger tight.

Caution—Do not over-tighten Optical tips. Pull on the tip gently to verify that it issecurely attached. If the second set of threads does not engage, turn the tip slightly
in a counterclockwise direction to allow the threads to levelize.
Note: Measurement Optical tips must be tightened firmly to ensure accuracy.

mode, in which only the hard keys remain lit, touching any key or the joystick
returns the iQ to a fully powered state.

Steering Sensitivity Settings19

13 – The user can select from two probe steering modes: Steer or Steer-andStay™. Each mode has its own sensitivity adjustment. For both modes, thefactory default sensitivity corresponds to the slider set in the exact middleof the adjustment range
Note: The factory default setting provides good steering response for mostinspections. The sensitivity can be adjusted separately for each mode to
optimize the steering for specific inspections or adjust for the preferencesof the inspector. Once adjusted, a sensitivity setting is preserved even when
the system is powered off.
14 –Steer sensitivity: It is recommended that this adjustment be kept atfactory default for most inspections. In this steering mode, the adjustment
range changes the sensitivity of the joystick according to the guidelines
below, and has no effect on steering speed. Full range of camera motion
is available at all sensitivity settings.
Slider at Minimum: Provides more precise steering control when the desired
target is within +/- 45 degrees from the camera at its home position. For
inspections where the areas of interest are primarily concentrated near thecamera's home position this is a useful slider setting.
Slider at middle / factory default: Best for most general inspections.
Provides equal joystick sensitivity for the entire camera range of motion.
Slider at maximum: Provides more precise steering control when thedesired target is located from 45-180 degrees from the camera at its home
position. For inspections where the areas of interest are primarily looking
sideways or even backwards, this is a useful slider setting.
Steer-and-Stay sensitivity: In this steering mode, the speed of camera
motion is controlled by how far off center the joystick is pushed. The
maximum camera speed occurs when the joystick is pushed fully in any
direction. This sensitivity slider adjusts the maximum speed for camera
motion in Steer-and-Stay™ mode.
Slider at Minimum: This reduces the maximum steering speed to roughly
1/2 of factory default. Reducing maximum steering speed may be usefulfor inspections using a close focus tip, where the camera is positioned very
close to the surface being inspected, or if steering while using significant
amounts of digital zoom. In these cases, slowing the camera motion down
will provide more precise fine camera control.
20

Slider at middle / factory default: This is the factory default speed, and isa good starting point for most inspections.
Slider at maximum: This increases the maximum steering speed. For
systems running OS 3.18 or older, this setting increases maximum steering
speed to approximately 1.3x compared with the factory default. For systems
running OS 3.20 or newer, this setting doubles the maximum steering speed
compared to factory default. Increasing maximum steering speed may
be useful for experienced inspectors, who can use the faster steering tocomplete an inspection more quickly.
Note: While using the slider with Steer & Stay or Steer, the effect of the slider
setting can be seen in realtime by moving the camera with the joystick.

Steering the Probe

When you are viewing a live image, you can aim the probe’s camera bycontrolling its bending neck.
1 – Steering the Bending Neck: While viewing a live image, move the joysticktoward the feature you want to see. The bending neck articulates so thatthe probe tip moves in that same direction.
2 – Straightening the Bending Neck: Long press this button to HOME or
straighten the bending neck for safe withdrawal and storage of the insertiontube.
3 – Setting the Steering Mode: Short press this button to choose between
Steer or Steer and Stay mode. In either mode, the bending neck articulates
to follow the joystick motion. They differ in how they behave after thejoystick is released Steer mode allows the bending neck to drift towards a
straight position when the joystick is released. Steer and Stay mode holds

the bending neck in its articulated position when the joystick is released.
If you move the joystick while in Steer-and-Stay mode, the bending neckarticulates. When you stop moving the joystick, the bending neck stays
in the new position. Thisicon appears when in Steer and Stay mode.
Note: Connecting a Bluetooth or USB-wired keyboard allows for remotecontrol of iQ functions and probe articulation. See Appendix M for a listof function key and key-press combinations equivalent to iQ button andjoystick operations.

4 – Tip Map. This on-screen icon indicates the relative positions of thesteering motors. When the illuminated dot appears in the center of thecrosshairs, the motors are centered. The bending neck position generally
follows the motor positions but is affected by the shape of the insertion
tube and other mechanical effects. The further the dot appears from thecenter of the icon, the more the bending neck is articulated. Dependingon the rotation of the insertion tube and camera, the viewing area may or
may not align with the direction indicated on the Tip Map.

Guiding the Insertion Tube Into Inspection Area
With the desired optical tip installed, guide the insertion tube into theinspection area. Use your hands to push the tube until it reaches an area
you want to inspect. Twist the insertion tube gently to bring the desired
scene into view. Accessories are available to make it easier to maneuver
the tube:• Rigidizers: Rigid or semi-flexible guide tubes (available in different lengths)
keep the tube supported as you insert it or allows the tube to span arecess.
• Grippers: Cylindrical handles that slide over the insertion tube to makeit easier to control. Grippers are threaded to connect to rigidizers and toaccess port couplers.

31Temperature Sensor Warnings

Measuring Features and Indications
About Measuring
The MVIQ+ allows you to measure features or indications either before or after saving an image. You can save up to five measurements per image. In orderto perform 3D Phase Measurements (3DPM) or stereo measurements, the image must be captured using a 3DPM, or stereo tip. All saved measurement
images can be re-measured on a PC using Inspection Manager software from Waygate Technologies. For details, call your local sales representative.
You can save measurement images as JPEGs or bitmaps. You can view these files, including the measurement results, in most .BMP or .JPG viewing
applications.
Notes:-Measurement results are valid only when taken in air. To measure through liquid, contact Waygate Technologies.
-Waygate Technologies cannot guarantee the accuracy of measurements calculated by the MVIQ+ system. Accuracy varies with the application andthe operator’s ability.
-The MVIQ+ system can display measurement images that were captured on the Everest XLG3™ and XLGo VideoProbe systems, including their previously
captured measurements. However, we do not support re-measurement of images captured with systems other than the MVIQ+.
-Measurement image data must not be altered or compressed to remain viable for post inspection remeasurement.
-For more information on Real3D Measurement, please reference the Real3DTM Measurement Handbook.

Real3D™In Point Cloud Cursors
This feature allows users to adjust cursors while viewing an image in point cloud. There are three options when adjusting cursors:
Inactive (represented as spheres)
Active (represented as small 3D ring)Moveable (represented as large 3D ring)

Real3D Point Cloud cursor manipulation
Measurement cursors may be added and re-positioned directly in both the full-screen point cloud and split 2D image / point cloud views. Point cloudcursors can assume three different states; inactive (represented by a sphere), active (represented by a sphere and small ring), and moveable (represented
by a sphere and large ring). To re-position a point cloud cursor using the touch screen, tap (down and up) on the cursor to make it moveable, then dragthe cursor to the desired position. Tap on the zoom window for fine positioning. If using the joystick and hard keys, use the Next Measurement soft key, if
needed, to activate the desired measurement, then press the Enter button until the desired cursor is in the active state. Then double press the Enter button
to make the cursor moveable, and use the joystick to move it to the desired position. Double press Enter again when finished re-positioning cursors toexit the moveable state and return the joystick to controlling point cloud rotation.

The system may be unable toposition the matching cursors
accurately with any of these
conditions in the measurementarea: insufficient detail, repeating
patterns, glare, or smooth,straight lines to measure along.

Comparison

Over stereo measurements:• Use the probe headguard or any
other tip optic.

• L ess accurate than stereo
measurements.
• Known references may not bepresent and may be difficult
to deliver to the measurementsite.
• M easurement surface must
be nearly perpendicular to theprobe view for an accurate
measurement.

Measurement Optical tips
Note: 3DPM Optical tips are automatically identified by the system. Stereo Opticaltips must be manually selected prior to making a stereo measurement. Although
3D Stereo and Stereo use the same stereo Optical tips, they require different factory
calibration processes and calibration data. They also utilize different processing todetermine 3D coordinates for measurement.
Unlike standard Optical tips, Stereo, 3D Stereo, and 3D Phase Optical tips are factorycalibrated for use with specific probes and will not measure accurately with otherprobes. These Optical tips are matched to probes by the serial numbers identified oneach Optical tip and each probe label. Calibration data is stored in memory in theprobe, allowing the probe to be used with different handsets.
Notes:-To ensure measurement accuracy, verify the Optical tips accuracy each time it isinstalled and at the end of a measurement event.

48-The installed Optical tip must be identified before making Stereo measurements.
To ensure that no mechanical damage has degraded their accuracy, verify
measurement Optical tips each time you use them. See Verifying Measurement
Optical tips in Appendix

or a connected mouse, additional
cursors can be placed by touching or
clicking on a placed cursor.

50

Cursor Placement:
Place two cursors to define a line on
the reference surface to one side of
the area of interest and a third cursor
on the opposite side of the area ofinterest. The system determines asecond line best matching the surface
curvature along the first line. It thensweeps depth profiles between the
two lines and identifies the profile that
includes the deepest or highest point.
Note: Use Run Demo to see all
calculated depth profiles.
Note: Can be used on flat surfaces orsurfaces with curvature in only one
direction such as pipes.

Cursor Placement:
All cursors are automatically placedon the tip and shroud. Check the
3D shroud data in the point cloudview. If large anomalies are present,
adjust the tip position for a view lessperpendicular to the blade.
Otherwise, manually adjust the 3
shroud cursor positions to maximize
green mask coverage and improve
blue rectangle alignment.
If a shorter segment of the blade

Auto Repeat
Setting Auto Repeat to ON remembers
all measurement performed on thecurrent image along with the current
measurement view. After pressing theStereo soft key on subsequent FF images,
these measurements will automatically be
performed on the newly captured image.
This feature improves efficiency when
making repetitive measurements.

Point Cloud View (3DPM and 3D Stereo)

The point cloud view offers the following advantages:• Helps the user visualize the measurement to ensure proper cursor placement
and verify 3D data quality.
• Shows location of high and low points to help profile and depth cursor
positioning.
• Shows the level of noise relative to indication size. Move the probe tip closer
or adjust viewing angle if surface noise bumps appear significant relative
to the indication size.
• Shows ripple or waves, which may indicate dirt or oil on the gratings or reflections
bouncing off one surface onto another.
The MVIQ+ offers two different point cloud image options: Full Image andMeasurement Image, either of which may be viewed full screen or in a split
view with the left-hand view containing the 3D Stereo or 3DPM image forsimultaneous cursor placement and point cloud inspection. In 3DPM split
view, the 2D image may be zoomed and panned using the touch screen.
The following apply to both Full Image (1) and Measurement Image (2):• T he cursor positions and the lines between the cursors are shown (3).
• For Depth Profile and Area Depth Profile, the profile slice along the surface
is shown.
• For Depth, Depth Profile, Area Depth Profile, and measurement utilizing a
Measurement Plane, a blue rectangle in the point cloud view indicates thereference plane position (4).
• When a Measurement Plane is used with Point to Line, Area, or Depth
measurements, an Edge View Angle and Line (5) are shown to aid properview setup.
• Drag a single finger over the touchscreen (or use the joystick) to rotate thepoint cloud.
• Use two fingers to shift or rotate the point cloud clockwise or counterclockwise.
• Slide two fingers together or apart to increase or decrease the zoom levelor select Zoom.
• P ress Reset to return to the default view (second level 6 soft key).
With Full Image, the following apply:• T he colorized Depth Map indicates tip-to-target distance.
• Dotted lines show the corners of the field of view to help visualize tip andsurface positions (7). These are controlled by the 3D Perspective Lines
option on the Measurement and Annotation Settings panel.
With Measurement Image, the following apply:• O nly the active measurement and the 3D data near it are shown.
• Shows all 3D data and all measurements with the active measurement • With Depth Map on, a scale indicates the depth or height relative to theshown in bold.
reference plane.
53Measurement Plane (3D Phase and 3D Stereo)
A Measurement Plane is not a standalone measurement type and gives no result. When used with specific measurement types, the Measurement Plane
allows cursor placement in red areas where no 3D data is present or where noise in the 3D data may reduce measurement accuracy.
Once placed, a Measurement Plane establishes a 3D plane aligned with a flat area on the surface of the viewed object. The plane mathematicallyextends beyond the edges of the surface over the entire image. The presence of a Measurement Plane affects specific measurement types as follows:• Length, Point to Line, Multi-Segment, and Area: All cursors are projected onto the Measurement Plane, and the result is computed using the projected
positions on the plane.
• Depth: The first three cursors select individual surface points as with a normal Depth measurement. Only the fourth is projected onto the Measurement
Plane.
• Depth Profile: The Measurement Plane is used as the reference plane, so the Depth Profile cursors may overlap edges or be in red areas. The resulting
dimension shows the height or depth from the Measurement Plane. Use only with flat reference surfaces.
• Area Depth Profile: Both reference lines are positioned on the Measurement Plane allowing them to pass through red areas or surface pits without
affecting the profiles taken between the reference lines. The resulting dimension shows the height or depth from the Measurement Plane. Use only withflat reference surfaces.
Applications for Measurement Plane usage include:• Area measurement of a missing corner with a cursor placed in space where the corner used to be.
• Point-to-Line measurement of missing corner or indication along an edge where a lack of 3D data or data artifacts prevent proper cursor placement.
• Length or Point-to-Line measurements of small features on flat surfaces when 3D data noise is significant relative to the feature size. This often occurs
when the tip cannot be moved close enough to the indication to achieve better data quality.
• Depth measurement of turbine blade tip-to-shroud clearance where 3D data along the edge of the blade is missing or exhibits artifacts. This is often
due to large MTD. Measurement may be accomplished by placing the Measurement Plane cursors on the face of the blade, the first three Depth cursors
on the shroud, and the fourth Depth cursor on the edge of the blade near the Measurement Plane.
• With Area Depth Profile when measuring a field of pits on a flat surface.
Note: B ecause the fourth Depth cursor is projected onto the Measurement Plane, DO NOT select a Depth measurement type with a Measurement Plane
to measure pits or dents.
Note: Once a user-defined Measurement Plane is added to an image, all measurements added before or after the plane was inserted utilize theMeasurement Plane.

54Placing a Measurement Plane(3D Phase and 3D Stereo)
A measurement plane extends an object beyond its existing edges (likethe surface of a broken compressor blade). This allows placement of
measurement cursors within an area that does not include measurable
image pixels.

1 – Capture an image for measurement using either the 3DPM or 3D Stereo
procedures. Alternatively, recall a previously stored 3D measurement image.

2 – Select to begin the measurement process and insert a Measurement
Plane. This icon appears in the status bar while the Measurement Plane isactive.

3 – Defining the Measurement Plane requires placement of three cursors

on valid (not red) pixels. Notice that only Measurement Plane cursors aretriangular.

4 – Once the third cursor appears, a semi-transparent Surface Mask isdisplayed. Points on the surface that are very close to being on the defined
Measurement Plane (those whose distance from the plane is within 1% of theirdistance from the tip) are shown in green. Points lacking 3D data appear
red. For best accuracy, adjust the cursor positions as needed to maximize
the amount of green near the desired measurement location.

5 – Rotate the Point Cloud View at any time to confirm that the Measurement
Plane, indicated by a blue rectangle, aligns with the intended surface.

6 – Select to add a measurement to the image, then choose themeasurement type. While this example shows an Area measurement, theMeasurement Plane is compatible with most indication types.

7 – When measuring Area, all cursors are projected onto the Measurement
Plane. Cursors may be placed anywhere in the image, even where no 3D
data is present.

Note: Once a user-defined Measurement Plane is added to an image, allmeasurements added before or after the plane was inserted utilize theMeasurement Plane.

55

3D Phase Measurements (3DPM)

3D Phase Measurement Optical tips include an LED based structured light projection system that allows the
MVIQ+ to produce a three-dimensional surface scan of the object. Measurements are then made directly on
the surface and displayed on the image. Preliminary steps of matching cursors or marking shadow lines are
not necessary.

Maximum Target Distance - MTD Number

indication being measured.

The 3D Phase Measurement system will display a number on-screen after a measurement is complete. While
taking the measurement, an MTD number will appear (see the upper left corner of the figure below). MTD stands
for Maximum Target Distance and is the distance from the 3D Phase Measurement tip to the cursor that isfurthest from the tip. Small measurements, especially Depth or Depth Profile (~0.020” or smaller) types, accuracy
may be improved by placing the camera close to or even touching the surface. Large length measurements
can be accurately made with larger MTDs. Recommended Optical tip is Green 3DMP. The viewing perspective
and surface finish both significantly influence the level of noise in the 3D data and therefore the accuracy. The
Point Cloud feature should be used to verify that the level of noise present is small relative to the size of theTaking 3D Phase Measurements

As with other measurement types, Phase Measurement accuracy improves as tip-to-target distance is reduced. The 3DPM Range Finder icon can be used
to gauge how close the camera is to a given surface. When the camera is farther from the surface, a single bar is shown. As the tip is moved closer to thesurface, more bars are illuminated. Large length measurements may be performed with few bars illuminated, while still achieving good accuracy. In general,the best accuracy is achieved by getting as close to the surface as possible. All measurements should be evaluated in the Point Cloud.
Accuracy is generally best when viewing a surface from approximately a 45° angle, especially on surfaces that are shiny or have a speckled appearance.
When measuring surfaces with steps or long, deep features, a side view Blue Optical tip will give better results if the feature or step is horizontal. A forward
view Black or Orange Optical tip, or side view Green Optical tip will give better results if the feature or step is vertical (see image to the right). This is dueto the LED orientations in the tips.
When an application calls for placement of measurement cursors within an area that
does not include measurable image pixels, depicted by red 3D Data Mask, inserting a
Measurement Plane extends an object's surface plane beyond its existing edges (like thesurface of a broken compressor blade or the space between a blade tip and a stationary
rub strip).
To Capture a 3D Phase Measurement Image:
Step 1 – Attach either a forward view or side view 3D Phase Measurement optical tip to
the probe. Each measurement tip must be factory calibrated to a particular probe, andmay be calibrated to more than one probe. To ensure measurement accuracy, verify
the tip’s accuracy each time it is installed. Refer to Appendix E for verification procedures.
Step 2 –Initiate the Image Capture sequence as described in the following section.
56

3D Phase Measurement Procedure

1 – When the target is in position, select the soft key (or long hold). The 3D Phase Measurement scan will begin.
Note: Keep the probe still during the PM surface scan, typically 1
second. Multiple images are taken to complete the scan, and theprobe must be held still during this sequence. Do not move theprobe until the Capturing images. Keep probe still until caution
disappears.
2 – Select Measurement soft key to begin the measurement
process. Select Measurement Style.
3 – Select at any time to define a Measurement Plane. Once
inserted into an image, all measurements added before or after
the plane was inserted are made with respect to the Measurement
Plane.
Note: When an application calls for placement of measurement
cursors within an area that does not include measurable image
pixels, inserting a measurement plane may allow the measurement
to be performed.
4 – The Patented Zoom Window automatically opens allowing for
precise positioning of the active cursor. Tap the window’s edges(or tap on the cursor, then control with the joystick) to adjust theactive cursor position.
5 – Place cursors on the desired feature. Up to five measurements
may be placed on each image.
Note: The system will wait up to 1.5 seconds for movement to stop
before starting a 3DPM capture. If movement does not stop, amessage displays and the capture is not attempted. If movement
begins during the capture, the system pauses the capturing
process, waits for movement to stop, and attempts a second
capture. If either attempt allows enough frames to be captured
without movement to provide sufficient surface coverage,measurement is allowed. If neither attempt is completed without
movement, a message indicating that the capture was affectedby motion is displayed. This may result in more un-measurable(red) pixels or a slightly higher noise level than would be achieved
with no movement. The system does not allow measurement if the
movement was sufficient to substantially degrade 3D data quality.

57

Making 3DPM Measurements (Depth Profile Example)

Note: While the following procedure applies specifically to a Depth Profile measurement, refer to this procedure and the information in the section titled
Types of 3D Measurement to conduct any type of 3DPM.

6 – To create a Depth Profile measurement, place the first and second cursors on a flat surface on opposite sides of the area of interest. This procedure
is described in a following section.

Note: Indication of Non-Measurable Area: When working with a 3D phase measurement image, certain parts of the image may not be measurable.
These parts may be too far away, too dark, or obscured by light reflections if the surface is highly reflective. The 3D Phase Measurement system will
display a red colored zone in those areas. The system will not compute a
measurement result when a cursor is positioned in a red colored area. The 3D
Phase Measurement system will display a yellow colored zone in areas whereaccuracy is likely reduced. Cursor placement in a yellow colored area should
be avoided if possible.
7 – Patented Zoom Window allows for precision positioning of the active cursor.
Tap the window’s edges (or tap on the cursor, then control with the joystick) toadjust the active cursor position.
8 – Use to select from available Views.

Note: Depth Profile view (described in a following section) is only available if the

3D Stereo Measurements

Stereo measurements require the use of StereoProbe measurement Optical tip's to capture stereoscopic
images of a target. 3D Stereo and Stereo both utilize the same Stereo Optical tip's, which provide two imagesof the same scene from slightly different perspectives. They both rely on triangulation and the matching of
surface points in both images to determine 3D coordinates used for measurement. But, the use model andprocessing are very different. With Stereo, the system performs matching and computes 3D coordinates
only at the locations of measurement cursors. With 3D Stereo, more advanced calibration and processing
algorithms are utilized to compute a full 3D point cloud prior to beginning the measurement making its use
more like 3DPM than stereo. The advanced processing also includes more intelligent matching and datasmoothing to greatly reduce measurement variation. As with 3DPM, the MVIQ+ allows 3D visualization of
the 3D Stereo point cloud (hence the name 3D Stereo) to improve understanding of the viewed surface
and the measurement being performed.

Maximum Target Distance - MTD Number
As with other measurement types, 3D Stereo accuracy improves as tip-to-target distance is reduced. In
general, the best accuracy is achieved by getting as close to the surface as possible while keeping thearea of interest in sharp focus. Like 3DPM, 3D Stereo provides an MTD number for each measurement tohelp gauge the likely accuracy of that measurement (see the upper left corner of the figure below). MTD stands for Maximum Target Distance and is the
distance from the stereo tip to the cursor that is furthest from the tip. Small measurements, especially depth or depth profile (~0.020” or smaller) types,
require low MTDs (< 0.5”) for good accuracy. Large length measurements can be accurately made with larger MTDs. The Point Cloud feature should be
used to verify that the level of noise present is small relative to the size of the defect being measured. Unlike Stereo, 3D Stereo does not use Accuracy Index.

When an application calls for placement of measurement cursors within an area that does not include measurable image pixels, inserting a measurement
plane extends an object beyond its existing edges (like the surface of a broken compressor blade or the space between a blade tip and a stationary
rub strip).

The 3D Stereo Measurement Process
You can take 3D Stereo measurements on a frozen image or on a recalled image,provided the recalled image was saved with 3D Stereo measurement data. The
3D Stereo Measurement process includes:
Step 1—Attaching a calibrated 3D Stereo Optical tip. Each measurement
Optical tip must be factory calibrated to a particular probe and may
be calibrated to more than one probe. To ensure measurement
accuracy, verify the tip’s accuracy each time it is installed. Refer toAppendix for verification procedures.
Step 2—Capturing an acceptable image.

Step 3—Identifying the attached optical tip, selecting desired measurement type
and placing measurement cursors.
Step 4—Use the Point Cloud view to confirm an acceptable level of noise for theimage being measured.

59

3D Stereo Measurement Procedure, Part 1

Prior to collecting 3D Stereo measurements, a calibrated 3D Stereo Optical tip must be attached to your MVIQ+. Properly position the tip formeasurement, which may be aided by temporarily displaying a single image by turning Single View mode ON. The image capture and cursor
placement process is described elsewhere – become familiar with this information before making stereo measurements.
1 – Select the Stereo soft key (if working with a frozen image) or the Measure soft key (if working with a recalled image captured with a 3D Stereo opticaltip). Live stereo (and all other) images must be frozen prior to beginning the measurement process.
2 – After selecting Stereo, soft keys on the iQ’s display show the serial numbers for all 3D Stereo and stereo Optical tip's that have been calibrated to theinstalled probe. 3D Stereo Optical tip's include a + 3D designation on the soft key. Be sure to select the serial number of the 3D Stereo Optical tip currently
installed. If, after collecting images for measurement, you determine that the wrong serial number was selected, refer to items 10 and 11.
Note: When an application calls for placement of measurement cursors within an area that does not include measurable image pixels, inserting ameasurement plane extends an object beyond its existing edges.
3 – Begin the measurement process by choosing the type of measurement desired.
4 – When a measurement type is selected (in this case, a Depth Profile measurement), this icon describes the type chosen.
5 – First cursor appears on the left screen, where all user-placement of cursors will occur. Drag with your finger (or joystick) to position the active cursor
to the desired location. This cursor can be reactivated (active cursor appears larger than other cursors) and moved at any time.
Note: Indication of Non-Measurable Area: When working with a 3D Stereo measurement image, certain parts of the image may not be measurable. If
portions of the image are unsuitable for stereo measurement, the measurement system will display a red colored zone in those areas. The system will
not compute a measurement result when a cursor is positioned in a red colored area.
60

3D Stereo Measurement Procedure, Part 2

6 – Patented Zoom Window allows for precise positioning of the active cursor. Tap the window's edges (or move the cursor with the joystick) to adjust
the active cursor position.

7 – Tap the screen (or hit) to display the second cursor. Position it as described in items 5 and 6.
8 – The active dimension appears on the display screen (tapping the number turns its box blue and allows it to be repositioned).
Note: Verify correct cursor placement and 3D data quality using the Point Cloud view.

9 – Select to Add another measurement (up to y

are allowed on any display). Once more than one measurement are displayed, select Next Measurement
to change which measurement is active (or simply tap on any existing measurement cursor to make it active).

10 – Tap to access alternate rows of soft keys. Double tapping in this location hides or displays the soft keys and status bar.
11 – Select Options, then Change Tip to retain the image captured and measurement(s) performed while correcting for an incorrectly specified tip serial

number. This process allows the correct calibration data to be applied and eliminates the need to collect additional images simply because the user
initially identified the wrong tip serial number.

61

Making 3D Stereo Measurements(Depth Profile Example)

Note: While the following applies to a Depth Profile measurement, refer tothis procedure and the section titled Types of 3D Measurement for othertypes.

1 – To create a Depth Profile measurement, place the first and second
cursors on flat surfaces on the same plane on opposite sides of the areaof interest.
2 – Patented Zoom Window allows for precision positioning of the active
cursor. Tap the window’s edges (or tap on the cursor, then control withthe joystick) to adjust the active cursor position. Click here to learn about
turning the Zoom window on or off.
3 – Use to select from available Views. Click here to learn about Views.

Note: Depth Profile view (described in a following section) is only available
if the active measurement is a Depth Profile measurement.

Note: Measurements can be performed with any of the Image Views
selected. However, the 3D coordinates used for measurement and shownin the point cloud views are always computed using the Normal image.
4 – Point Cloud view, described below, allows the user to evaluate thelevel of noise relative to indication size while verifying proper cursor
and profile position for the desired measurement. Choose between
Measurement Image and Full Image to view only the area around theactive measurement or the entire image.
5 – When a Point Cloud is displayed and active, turning on the Depth Map
uses color to convey the approximate depth of an indication.

Note: When Full Image is selected, all measurements appear in the Point
Cloud view and the Depth Map colors represent the Tip-to-Target Distance.
When Measurement Image is selected, only the active measurement
appears and the Depth Map colors represent distances relative to themeasurement reference plane.
6 – When a Point Cloud view is displayed, drag a single finger over the
touchscreen (or use the joystick) to rotate the image in three dimensions.
Alternatively, place two fingers on the display and move simultaneously toreposition or rotate the image within the plane in which it is viewed. SelectReset to return the repositioned point cloud view to its original position.

7 – The Depth Profile view is available only after a Depth Profile measurement
has been made. This view provides a cross-section with the line connecting
the two reference cursors serving as a sectioning line.

3D Stitching (Stereo and Phased Measurement)
3D stitching allows users to stitch up to ten 3DPM or ten 3DST images together to create a larger, more complete view of an inspection area. ​The benefits of 3D stitching include:•

Measure larger defects across multiple images​•

Accurately locate the position of defects in relation to a known point of interest (POI)•

Available in live Real3D Phase Measurement image capture and File Manager for recalled images​

Note: Requires 3D Phase or 3D Stereo Measurement Software

How 3D Stitching Works•

Feature points are identified in the 2D images•

Feature points are matched between images much like with Stereo•

A 3D transformation (rotate + translate) is determined for each image to make them all line up in 3D•

Non-overlapping portions of each image are chosen for inclusion in the stitched point cloud based on MTD (images captured from closer
distance are prioritized ahead of images captured from further distance)•

Images are “smoothed” to reduce brightness differences along seams in the point cloud while preserving original detail in each image

63

Stitching a New Image

1. To create a 3D stitched image with a new image capture, choose
3DPM Capture to start.
2. A banner notification will appear as new image is being captured.
3. After a new image is captured, select 3D Stitch
4. The user can now Capture New or Add File
5. 3DPM Capture or 3DST Freeze Frame to continue to capture newimages.
Note: Up to ten images can be stitched.
6. Note: Keep camera tip still while capturing image.
7. Click Add to add this new image to the stitched image.
8. When capturing and adding new images is complete, choose Done.

64

Stitching Saved Images

1. To create a 3D stitched image with a saved image, navigate to images through File Manager.
2. Select up to five images to stitch together.
3. Use soft key toggle switch to access second level of soft keys.
4. Select 3D Stitch to be begin the stitching process.

Stereo Measurements

Stereo measurements require the use of StereoProbe measurement
Optical tips to capture stereoscopic images of a target — two picturesof the same target from two different angles. To measure the target,
the MVIQ+ uses triangulation based on these two side-by-side
images. You can take stereo measurements on a frozen image or on
a recalled image, provided the recalled image was saved with Stereo
measurement data. The Stereo Measurement process includes (seefollowing sections for details):

and right of each cursor to accurately place the matching cursors inhorizontal relationship to the left-side cursors.

Step 1 – Attaching a calibrated Stereo Optical tip
Step 2 – Capturing an acceptable view with a suitable image as
described below.
Step 3 – Identifying the attached optical tip, selecting desired
measurement type and placing measurement cursors.
Step 4 – Properly positioning the Matching Cursors, if needed.

Achieving a Suitable Image for Making Stereo
Measurements
For maximum accuracy in any type of stereo measurement, you must
begin by positioning the stereo Optical tip carefully. Position the probe(before freezing) for a Stereo Measurement Image:
Visibility—The feature must be fully visible on both sides of the screen.
Tip-to-target proximity—The Optical tip must be as close as possible tothe target while keeping it in focus.
Minimal glare—Minimize glare by adjusting the viewing angle and theimage brightness in the areas where you will be placing cursors. Small
glare speckles do not present a problem, but larger glare areas may
appear in different positions on the two sides, causing false matches.

The images above represent good and bad image capturing
techniques when stereo measurements will be made. Both images
were captured for length measurement across the slot.

About the Stereo Index
The stereo index is a number that indicates the amount of magnification
during stereo measurements. The higher the stereo index, the greater
the magnification, the more accurately you can place the measurement
cursors and the more accurate your results.
When taking stereo measurements, you magnify the image not byzooming but by moving the optical tip as close as you can to the target.
The stereo index can be turned ON or OFF and the minimum value canbe altered (flash presented when not meeting set index value). Click here
to learn about adjusting the Stereo Index Limit and other Measurement
Settings.

Vertical orientation—If measuring distance between lines or acrossa circle, the image is oriented so that you can place cursors at left
and right edges of the item to be measured — not at top, bottom ordiagonal points. The system needs differentiated details to the left

67

About the Matching Cursors

For each cursor you place on the left image during stereo measurement,
the system places a matching cursor on the right image for use intriangulation.
You must place each left cursor on an image point (a pixel) that has
sufficient surrounding detail to differentiate it from its neighboring
pixels. If the neighboring pixels look the same as the point you choose —especially the pixels to the point’s left and right, for example, pixels along
a smooth horizontal line — the system cannot accurately place thematching cursor. When there is enough differentiating detail, the “match
strength” is high (meaning that the generated match point clearlymatches better than its neighboring pixels — the system’s confidence inthe match is high). But if there is not enough detail, the match strength islow (meaning that the generated point and its neighboring pixels match
almost equally well — the match may be correct, but the system’s
confidence in the match is low).
For every matching cursor, the system calculates a match strength
value between <0> (lowest confidence) and <5> (highest confidence).
If too little detail is present, the system simply does not generate amatching cursor. Whenever possible, try to achieve a match strengthof at least <3>. If you cannot achieve this level, try capturing anotherimage with less glare or more image details. (Adjust the tip orientation
or image brightness.)
Even when match strength is <5>, and especially when the match
strength is lower, you need to verify that the matching cursor appears
to be placed properly. A matching cursor that is off by just one pixel cansignificantly impact measurement accuracy.

Repositioning a Matching Cursor
Note: Misplaced matching cursors most likely occur when themeasurement area contains a repeating pattern. Generally, the best
results are achieved by leaving the matching cursors exactly where
the system places them.
Move the matching cursor to the correct position.
When you stop moving the cursor, the system optimizes the match
position. Each manually corrected matching cursor is indicated by theabsence of a match strength number.
68

Stereo Mode Measurement Procedure, Part 1

Prior to collecting stereo measurements, a calibrated stereo optical tip must be attached to your MVIQ+. Properly position the tip for measurement(click here to see how to position the tip), which may be aided by temporarily displaying a single image by turning Single View mode ON (click here
to select Single View and learn about other Image Transformation settings). The image and cursor placement process is described in the sections
above – you must become familiar with this information before conducting stereo measurements.
1 – Select the Stereo soft key (if working with a frozen image) or the Measure soft key (if working with a recalled image captured with a stereo optical tip).
Live stereo (and all other) images must be frozen prior to beginning the measurement process. Be sure to select the soft key showing the serial numberof the attached tip.
2 – After selecting Stereo, soft keys on the instrument display show the serial numbers for all stereo Optical tip's that have been calibrated to the installedprobe. Be sure to select the serial number of the tip currently installed. If, after collecting images for measurement, you determine that the wrong serial
number was selected, refer to items 10 and 11 on the next page of this manual.
3 – Begin the measurement process by choosing the type of measurement desired (see description of each type below)
4 – When a measurement type is selected (in this case, a Point-to-Line measurement), this icon describes the type chosen.
5 – First cursor appears on the left screen, where all user-placement of cursors will occur (the matching cursors appearing in the right display are
generated by the MVIQ+ system – as the user moves each left-screen cursor, the matching cursor in the right half-screen moves accordingly – be sure
to inspect each matching cursor as it appears). Drag with your finger (or joystick) to position the active cursor to the desired location. This cursor can bereactivated (active cursor appears larger than other cursors) and moved at any time (see additional screen features described below).
6 – Patented Zoom Window allows for precise positioning of the active cursor. Tap the window's edges (or move the cursor with the joystick) to adjust
the active cursor position. (Click here to learn about turning the Zoom Window on or off and other Measurement Settings).
69

Stereo Mode Measurement Procedure, Part 2
7 – Tap the screen (or hit) to display the second cursor. Position it as described in items 5 and 6.

Note: Generally, you get the best results by leaving the matching cursors exactly where the system places them. However, under certain circumstances,such as when a repeating pattern exists, you may need to help the system find the correct match.

8 – The active dimension appears on the display screen (tapping the number turns its box blue and allows it to be repositioned) along with the Stereo
Index and Match Strength associated with this measurement and cursor placement. See the immediately preceding manual sections for a descriptionof these two concepts.

9 – Select to Add another measurement (up to five are allowed on any display). Once more than one measurement are displayed, select Next Measurement
to change which measurement is active (or simply tap on any existing measurement cursor to make it active).
10 – Tap to access alternate rows of soft keys. Double tapping in this location hides or displays the soft keys and status bar.

11 – Select Options, then Change Tip to retain the image captured and measurement(s) performed while correcting for an incorrectly specified tip serial
number. This process allows the correct calibration data to be applied and eliminates the need to collect additional images simply because the user
initially identified the wrong tip serial number.
Note: The Stereo Index and Match Strength shown apply only to the active measurement.

Note: To verify your measurement accuracy, move each left-side cursor a few pixels. If the matching cursors move identically, and if the results change
only a little, you have probably achieved accurate results. But if a matching cursor’s movement is erratic, or if the results change significantly, yourresults are unreliable. Capture a fresh image, following the guidelines above. This step is especially useful if you have to use a low Stereo Index (lessthan 5) or low confidence number (less than 3). For example, you might have to use a low Stereo Index if you are measuring a large object or if you
have limited access and cannot bring the tip close to the target. You might have to accept a lower confidence number if the surface has few details.
70

Features of the Stereo Measurement Screen

1 – The currently active cursor appears larger than all others. Note that
this cursor’s position can be altered by the joystick or by dragging it
across the screen.
2 – Tap any on-screen dimension to select it for repositioning (bydragging or with joystick)3 – The highlighted Zoom Window allows for precise positioning of theactive cursor. Select and drag it to change its location on the display

Comparison measurements rely on the known dimensions of an
object that has been set in the field of view either by the manufacturer
or by the probe or takes advantage of known dimensions within thefrozen image. The Mentor processor uses these known dimensions
as a reference scale for measuring an unknown target. You cantake comparison measurements on a frozen image or on a recalled
image that was saved in Comparison measurement mode.

Making a Comparison Measurement
Use the head guard or attach any standard forward-view or sideview tip to the probe. Select the Field of View (FOV) for your tip
from the soft key or the touch screen. This allows the system toimprove accuracy by compensating for the tip's optical distortion.
If FOV is not known consult Appendix B. Position the probe tip for
maximum accuracy, by making the surface to be measured appear
perpendicular to the probe view. The target and known object shouldboth be in the same plane at the same distance from the probewith the tip as close as possible while fitting them both fully into theimage. If the object and reference are small on the screen, zoom
in. Freeze the display before beginning the measurement process.

1 – Select to launch the Comparison mode and choosing theappropriate tip.

2 – Making a comparision measurement: A reference of known

length must be input next by placing two cursors and defining thereference length. Arrange measurement cursors to determine theunknown dimension. In this case, the system is performing a Circle
Gauge measurement.

3 Select Reference, to input or change a New Reference Dimension,
New to add another measurement (up to 5), or change the active
measurement by selecting Next.

4 – Once a reference length is defined, a circle of known diametercan be displayed on the image by selecting this option. The circle
gauge may be used as a “go/no-go” gauge when its diameter is
set to a defect size limit.

73

Troubleshooting Measurements
3D Phase, 3D Stereo, or Stereo Measurements•

Move the probe tip as close as possible to the target, maximizing magnification.

•

Verify that the Optical tip len is clean and is threaded on to the probe head securely.

• Measure the target contained in the verification block to ensure that no tip damage has occurred. Click here to learn more about Verifying Measurement
Optical tips.
•	Verify that the serial number engraved on the Optical tip matches the serial number selected in the software for measurement.
•

Activate the zoom window to most accurately place the measurement cursors.

3D Phase Measurements•

Be sure to hold the probe still for approximately one second during the surface scan. Do not move the probe until after the Capturing Images message
disappears.

•	Position the probe tip as close as possible. It is acceptable to be slightly out of focus for very small indications.
•

Make sure all measurement-tip surfaces are clean. Wipe with a clean cloth and alcohol.

•

Check point cloud view for excessive waviness or ripple, which would indicate dirt or oil contamination or tip damage.

•

Try a non-perpendicular view, such as 30-45°. This often significantly decreases the noise level in the data, especially for surfaces that are shiny or
have a speckled appearance.

•

Ensure that ambient light is not present on the target while capturing the 3D Phase image.

3D Stereo and Stereo Measurements• Avoid placing cursors in areas of significant glare. If necessary, adjust the Brightness, HDR, and/or Dark Boost. Repositioning the probe tip to enhancedetails and reduce glare may be required.
•

Verify that the object to be measured is near the center of the screen, with as much magnification as possible while still being in focus.

•

Review guidelines under Achieving a Suitable Image for Making Stereo Measurements•	Verify that the matching cursor is correct within 1 pixel. If you cannot clearly see where the match point should be, select a different point, or capture
the image from a different angle that better reveals details to allow better matching.

Analytics
Blade Counter Analytics
Waygate Technologies' Mentor Visual IQ+ borescopes now offers Feature Detection analytic technology to provide customers a solution for counting
aerofoils passing through the live scene during in-situ visual inspections. Based on the InspectionWorks ecosystem, algorithms (analytics) can be
deployed to the borescopes, placing enhanced technology capability at the point of inspection.

What is the Blade Counter Analytic?
The ability to count aerofoils during live video visual inspections enables the user and subsequent reviewers to identify individual aerofoils without
influence by human error; therefore, inspections become more objective, more consistent, and more productive.
Waygate Technologies has developed the ability to detect, track and count blades. It can also be effectively used when viewing within restricted scenesthat partially reveal blades.

Required Equipment•

Only operable on the Mentor Visual iQ+ borescope.

•

MVIQ+ must be operating software version 4.00 or later.

•‘MVIQ-BLADECOUNT’ must be activated on handset.

Blade Counter Analytic has the ability to:•Count up or ascend•

Count down or descend•

Respond to change in direction of rotation and count accordingly•Start the count with user-defined number•

Ensure full coverage of aerofoil inspection by including total blade count (if known)•

Dynamically track the component so that probe movement is now permissable.

•

Customize location of ‘blade count’ text box to coincide with specific user needs.

Note: This feature is functional on live video only.
Warning: Analytic applications are intended to assist the user whilst performing in-situ visual inspections. Results will vary depending on your applicationand the method employed during setup. You, the user, are responsible for following the appropriate procedures and standards. Waygate Technologies
cannot be held responsible for the accuracy and outcome of any inspections. You must review the datasheet for intended use and limitations prior to use.
83

Note: Blade counter analytic accomodates probe movement during operation. A function to reveal the ‘tracking region’ or Blade Counter Bounding
Box enables the user to relate the label to the specific blade. This feature is useful when Blade Count Tracking is turned off.

Activating / De-activating Blade Counter
1 – Enter MVIQ+ Global Menu and select ‘Analytics’
2 – Accept disclaimer
3 – Select ‘Blade Counter’ tile and toggle from ‘off’ to ‘on’ state
4 – Press ‘Done’ soft key
Repeat this procedure to de-activate the analytic.

84

Before starting the visual inspection, it is now possible to:•Enter the total number of blades in that stage. This function enables the counter to return to blade number 1 at the appropriate point to ensure acomplete revolution had been performed (Figure 7a). Maximum limit is 999 blades.

•Enter the blade number upon which the inspection begins.

Fig 7a. ‘Enter total blade count’ prompt Fig

Press ‘Done’ soft key to launch Blade number textbox on screen

Figure 8a. Blade Counter active showing blade number textbox.

The textbox can be moved to a more preferential location, provided that it is contained within the Bounding Box.
Note: The analytic will pause when the borescope enters a different state e.g. when editing or adjusting position of the textbox.
An amber banner is temporarily presented to warn the user of this risk. It is recommend to pause engine rotation if entering into a different state.
Resuming LIVE state will reactivate the analytic.

85

Blade Counter Bounding Box: On/Off
Once the user has activated Blade Counter, the visual inspection can begin. The user is free to move the probe as needed during the count. It is possible
to view the tracking region at any point during the inspection.
From the LIVE state, press ‘Image’ soft key and press the ‘Blade Counter Bounding Box’ tile to re-reveal the tracking region (Figure 9a, 9b and 9c).

Fig 9a. Blade Counter showing ‘live’ state.

Fig 9b. ‘Image’ sub-menu with new ‘Blade Counter Lines’ tile.

Fig 9c. Blade Counter active showing original tracking region

Blade Counter Tracking: On/Off
By factory default, Blade Counter Tracking (1) is ON. This means that the text box tracks the blade during rotation. It is possible to turn the feature OFF
within the Analytics settings. It can become more difficult to determine which blade cooresponds with the blade counter number in the text box whentracking is turned OFF. This is more evident when multiple blades are visible within the scene. For this reason, it is recommended to turn ON BladeCounter Bounding Box when tracking is turned OFF.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Inspecting and Cleaning the System
Inspect and clean the MVIQ+ system before and after each use. If using
the system in a dirty environment, clean the components more frequently
as needed.
If images are distorted or blurred within normal range, and if the optical tip issecurely threaded, the most likely problem is dirty optical surfaces. For best
image quality, clean the optical tip and camera head frequently.
If you discover conditions that require evaluation or repair, return the system
to Waygate Technologies. Early repair of minor conditions can prevent much
more costly repair.

Inspecting and Cleaning a Probe
1 – Check the probe for damage or contamination. Look for excessive wear
in the bending neck, loose strands of the braided weave, or separation of
the bonding joints.
2 – Clean the probe tip, including the lens on the camera head. Use glasscleaner or 70% alcohol-to-water solution and a pointed cotton swab.
3 – Clean the rest of the probe,
including insertion tube and fiberoptic
connector. Use a soft cloth dampened
with glass cleaner or 70% alcohol-towater solution.

Inspecting and Cleaning the Handset

Caution: Do not immerse or soak the handset or the probe power plug.

Inspecting and Cleaning an Optical Tip
1 – Check the optical tip for damage or contamination.
2 – Clean all external parts of the optical tip. Use glass cleaner or 70%
alcohol-to-water solution and a pointed cotton swab.
3 – Clean only the internal threads of the optical tip. The internal(proximal)
optical lens should only be cleaned, under magnification, whentroubleshooting an Optical tip that provides poor focus.
Caution: The internal optical lens is surrounded by an O-ring. Use care
not to dislodge the O-ring. Washed-out images may be an indication of adislodged or missing O-ring.
Caution: Use ONLY the micro-swabs from the XA-CLEANKIT to clean theinside of 3D phase measurement Optical tips' proximal body or damage tothe tip may occur.

100

1 – Disconnect the power cord from the power source.
2 – Check for damage or contamination, including any bent pins or
damaged gaskets on the electrical connectors.

3 – Use a soft cloth dampened with glass cleaner or 70% alcohol-to-water

solution to clean all parts of the handset, except the electrical connector.
Use great care when cleaning the electrical contact pins of the connector.
Carefully clean the contact pins with glass cleaner or 70% alcohol-to-water
solution using a cotton swab. Low-pressure compressed air may be used
to dry or remove debris from the electrical connector.

Tips
Verify measurement Optical tips each time you use them to ensure that no
mechanical damage has degraded their accuracy. MVIQ+ systems are shippedwith a1 measurement verification block. This tool lets you verify the accuracy ofmeasurement Optical tips. It contains optical measurement targets whose
accuracy is traceable to the United States National Institute of Standards andTechnology (NIST) measurement standards.
These are the part numbers for the verification blocks used with the MVIQ+:
VER2400C		For 4.0 mm systems
VER2600D		For 6.1 mm systems
VER2620B		
For 6.2 mm systems
XLG3TM84VER		
For 8.4 mm systems

To Verify a 3DPM Measurement Tip:
Securely attach a 3DPM tip.
2 – Navigate to Measurement >3DPM Attached Tip to verify. Follow the on-screen
prompts to complete the test.
3 – The system will automatically check the tip’s accuracy, check for contaminationon the gratings, and verify the health of the tip LEDs. Note: The results of thisautomatic verification are logged in a file for troubleshooting (if required).

Note: Accuracy may also be checked by performing manual length measurements
between the crosshairs.

To Verify a 3D Stereo or Stereo Measurement Tip:
Securely attach a 3D Stereo or Stereo tip and thenInsert the tip into the appropriate port of the verification block (1) and position the
tip to center the target crosshairs in the image.
4 – Freeze the image, select Stereo, and then identify the serial number or theattached tip. Choose Length or Point-to-line measurement type for automatic
cursor placement.
Note: 3D Stereo Optical tips include a + 3D designation on the soft key to111differentiate between 3D Stereo and 2D Stereo

Note: When verifying legacy stereo measurements using a blue side stereo tip in a VER2600E block, an orange box will flash around the INDEX if below
minimum set value.
Note: Cursor placement is automatically placed when using a verification block.
5 – Perform manual length measurements between the crosshairs.

With accurate cursor placement, a measurement tip of any type in good condition should give results of 0.100 ± 0.005 inches (1.00 ± 0.05 mm). If yourmeasurement does not fall within these limits, try the suggestions under Troubleshooting Measurements.
Each verification block comes with a calibration schedule and a certificate of calibration (C of C), which notes the calibration date and due date.

112

Appendix F. Environmental Compliance
The equipment purchased has required the extraction and use of natural resources for its production. It may contain hazardous
substances that could impact health and the environment.
In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in the environment and to diminish the pressure on the natural resources,
we advise the use of appropriate take-back systems. Those systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials of end-lifeequipment in a sound way and are a requirement in many countries.
The cross-out wheeled bin symbol advices the use of recycling/take-back systems.
If more information is needed on the collection, reuse, and recycling systems, please contact the appropriate local or regional waste administration.

EU Battery Directive

This product contains a battery that cannot be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste in the European Union. See the product documentation for
specific battery information. The battery is marked with this symbol, which may include lettering to indicate cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), or mercury (Hg).
For proper recycling return the battery to your supplier or to a designated collection point.

What do the markings mean?
Batteries and accumulators must be marked (either on the battery or accumulator or on its packaging, depending on size) with the separate
collection symbol. In addition, the marking must include the chemical symbols of specific levels of toxic metals as follows:
Cadmium (Cd) over 0.002%
Lead (Pb) over 0.004%
Mercury (Hg) over 0.0005%
The risks and your role in reducing themYour participation is an important part of the effort to minimize the impact of batteries and accumulators on the environment and on human health.
For proper recycling you can return this product or the batteries or accumulators it contains to your supplier or to a designated collection point. Some
batteries or accumulators contain toxic metals that pose serious risks to human health and to the environment. When required, the product marking
includes chemical symbols that indicate the presence toxic metals: Pb for lead, Hg for mercury, and Cd for cadmium. Cadmium poisoning can resultin cancer of the lungs and prostate gland. Chronic effects include kidney damage, pulmonary emphysema, and bone diseases such as osteomalcia
and osteoporosis. Cadmium may also cause anemia, discoloration of the teeth, and loss of smell (anosmia). Lead is poisonous in all forms. It
accumulates in the body, so each exposure is signifi cant. Ingestion and inhalation of lead can cause severe damage to human health. Risks include
brain damage, convulsions, malnutrition, and sterility. Mercury creates hazardous vapors at room temperature. Exposure to high concentrations of
mercury vapor can cause a variety of severe symptoms. Risks include chronic inflammation of mouth and gums, personality change, nervousness,fever, and rashes.

Appendix P - Lithium Ion Battery CareStore & Charge your batteries at room temperature•

The worst thing that can happen to a lithium-ion battery is to have a full charge and be subjected to elevated temperatures.

•

Charge batteries at room temperature.

Allow partial discharges and avoid full ones•

Unlike NiCad batteries, lithium-ion batteries do not have a charge memory. In fact, it's better for the battery to use partial-discharge cycles.

•

There is one exception. Battery experts suggest that after 30 charges, you should allow lithium-ion batteries to almost completely discharge.

•

Batteries should be discharged at temperatures between 0°C and 60°C.

Avoid completely discharging lithium-ion batteries•

Do not recharge deeply discharged lithium-ion batteries if they have been stored in that condition for an extended time period.

Battery Storage
Caution - Do not store an uncharged battery as it may become unusable!
The battery’s protective circuitry will not allow charging below a certain minimum voltage threshold in order to prevent thermal runaway.
Thermal runaway can occur when charging a completely drained Lithium Ion battery. The protection circuitry prevents this from happening.
Extended Storage•

For extended storage, discharge a lithium-ion battery to about 40 percent and store it in a cool place•

Storing a battery fully charged means oxidation of lithium-ion is at its highest rate. Storing lithium-ion
batteries at 40 percent discharge and at cool room temperatures is recommended.

•

It is recommended to setup a preventative maintenance schedule to check stored battery levels
Monthly to confirm the charge level is not less than 20% (one LED lit).

For Proper Battery DC-connector strain relief attachment, please refer to the shown image..
