How to Use Calibration Function in DinoCapture

• Select a known measurement standard, such as a ruler, to be used for calibration. Take a picture of the selected measurement calibration standard.
  
• Now open the picture of the measurement calibration standard.
  
• Determine the magnification value by reading from the DinoLite adjustment dial. Enter this value in the“Input Mag” box located in upper right hand corner of the screen.
  
• Now click on the measurement icon at top of page and Select“Calibration”.
  
• The software will then prompt for taking a measurement on the selected calibration standard.
  
• Take a sample measurement of the selected calibration standard by clicking beginning and ending points across a known measurement value (such as 5mm’s, half inch,etc). A measurement value before calibration will be displayed (5.179mm in the example below)
  
• Enter the exact known value of the measurement sample (5.0mm in this example) in the“Adjusted Mag.” window and then click “OK”.
  
• The software will automatically calibrate the magnification rate and will show the adjusted magnification rate at the upperright corner of the picture.
  
• Now the software is ready to take calibrated measurements with adjusted magnification rate. To verify calibration simply take another measurement sample of a known measurement value.
