microseconds to 2 seconds. Once changes made, the foot pedal can be clicked to see if the
response time is good & convenient. A red block is displayed when the click event is generated.
If the response time is too short, the red block appears twice or more with the click time. If the
response time is too high, the red block appears only for slow clicks. (click-hold-release). So
adjust the response time based on your comfort level and test it using the red block display
before saving the setting using ‘Set&Close’ button.
Note: It is advisable to leave this setting to 400ms if you are not clear about changing this
setting or you have problem with your changes to this setting.
Crop Settings
Why Image cropping is needed?
In general, endoscopy images are circular in nature and the border areas are covered with
black color region. Endoscopy device provide output this way and when the images are
captured, the images have a circular area bounded with black color region. It is shown as
below. If we take the image for printout, along with the image data, the black area is also
printed and print black ink cartridge goes empty sooner. It is unnecessary to print the nonuseful black border region and it involves cost overhead if we do it. So cropping (clipping) the
unwanted black region area would be useful to save printer ink cost.
