Minimum PC requirements

Minimum PC requirements: Win10 or 11 OS, Intel Core i5-10xx or higher CPU, NVDIA® graphics board (mandantory, min 2 GB or more dedicated memory), SSD, min 8GB RAM, internal Gigabit Ethernet (GigE), HDMI interface.

The 3D part of the software can only be used under License. Therefore, a USB dongle is necessary (included in the basic instrument).

Design

The LED array is mounted on a printed circuit board in an aluminium housing with a central opening for the IMAG-K6 and IMAG-K7 cameras. A fan on the top side provides the necessary cooling. Cable connections to the IMAG-CG control unit and the external 300 W power supply exit the rear of the housing. The IMAG-MAX/F filter plate is also recommended for measurements on reflective surfaces.
