This Quick-Start guide can be used for initial configuration, connec- tion and basic operation of the Metronor Solo and Duo Photogram- metry system within SA. For more details on instrument operation and configuration contact Metronor directly.
Set up the Metronor system following the Manufacturer’s directions. This will depend on the camera configuration and system type. Ensure you have the appropriate camera mounts, tripods, and cabling to power the unit.
SA does not interface with the cameras directly but rather with the host application Metronor Server. Therefore, Metronor must be installed, calibrated, and running on the local machine prior to any attempt to connect to SA.
Please contact Metronor directly to obtain the correct version of the Metronor Server for your camera system and install it fol- lowing the manufacturer recommendations. (http://www.metronor.com/)
You can verify SA’s current version compatibility by looking in the SA readme file available under the Help menu within SA.
Duo system alignment, and light-pen tip calibration must be performed within the Metronor Server. Target recognition and interpretation is also performed within Metronor. Once correctly configured SA can acquire any of 3 data types from Metronor these include:
Point measurements from targets and probes
A constellation of points from LEDs
6D Frames measurements
