data processing software-Emax series
Installed in a PC, this software provides various processing tasks, using the data captured by the connected instrument, such as a measuring microscope, profile projector, or a NEXIV CNC video measuring system. It allows the user to perform 2-dimensional data processing, make visual inspection of images, take measurements, or carry out other tasks that vary depending on the instrument connected, in an easy, commonly-used Windows®-based operating environment. The following three sets are available:  data processing software-Emax series

Provides support to your measurements using a PC with a commonly-used Windows® operating system 

Multi-window display and simple operation make sophisticated measurements and processing easy. 
(1) Video window
(2) Graphic window
(3) D.R.O. window
(4) Illumination window
(5) Results window
(6) List window
(7) Caliper window
(8) Measurement tool bar

Note: You can display the output window, image window, or edit list window whenever necessary.
