7. Transferring Images between the HD-CAP and a PC
Captured images can be transferred by moving the SD-card to a computer with a SD-card
reader or via USB connection without removing the SD-card. The reference images or digital
graticules can be transferred to HD-CAP from a PC with the same file transfers methods. All
images should be in root folders. Images under subfolder will not be detected by the HD-
CAP.
8. Displaying Reference Images to an External Screen
HD-CAP allows you to access still images on the SD-Card and simultaneously display them
on a second monitor that has USB input. This function is extremely useful when you need a
“reference image” next to the live image of your inspection object using two monitors.
Connect the USB output of the HD-CAP to a USB compatible monitor, and select desired
image via monitor.
9. Software Updates
Users can update the software of the HD-CAP. Please check regularly www.optilia.eu for
software updates. Instructions of software upgrade will be published with the upgrade
package.
