| How Does SPEC*FORM Work |
| SPEC*FORM is based upon Spec*Scan and has the same smooth and intuitive graphic interface. All set-up parameters are shown and set through a single screen. A transparency adapter is used on the scanner which permits Spec*Form to measure the variation in the light transmitted through the sheet similar to manual methods. A 256 gray scale image of the inspected area is shown on screen which can be zoomed for specific area magnification and enhanced to bring out hidden detail. |
| On each sheet two thresholds, one measuring up (lighter) and the other measuring down (darker), measure, count and separately display the size of the light and dark areas in histogram form. |
| In the image, false color controls show the light weight areas and flocs separately. |
| Variation in formation properties are calculated from the entire scanned area pixel GSV frequency distribution histogram using several equations. |
