1. Test overview.
This test is used to check that the scanner + APS film carrier are able to scan an IR image.
For that, the scanner will scan a B&W film, then will display the image so that the user can accept or not the test.
If no IR image is canned, all of the ADDR system is affected.
2. Conditions du test.
This test relates to the APS film carrier inserted in the scanner.
The APS film carrier must be inserted in the scanner to carry out this test.
A short B&W film must be used for this test (ref. 070 100 423A):
the acceptance of the test is manual.
No parameter is saved.
3. Pre-requirements.
- CCD IR Test is accepted to ensure that the measurement of the IR signal is correct.
- APS Pre-Sharp Test is accepted to ensure that the IR image will be sharp enough.
4. Test realisation.
Click on
RUN to execute the test. A message will be displayed requiring the insertion of short B&W film. When the film is inserted (caution : Watch for the direction of film), click on
OK.
The scanner will scan the first exposure of film then will display the corresponding image.
5. Test acceptance.
The acceptance of this test is left to the discretion of the user. The goal of is simply to verify that an IR image is visible, and that it is sharp enough.
If these 2 criteria are correct, click on
OK then accept the test while clicking on
ACCEPT.
6. Other affected tests.
If no image is visible or if it it is completely fuzzy, the following tests will be affected :
- APS Ratio RGB-IR.
- APS Cal encoder 2.
- APS Cal RGB-IR.
- APS ADDR.
7. Trouble shooting.
If no image is visible : : verify that the measurement of the IR signal by the CCD IR is correct (test CCD IR). If not, check the light channel from the source IR to the CCD IR.
If the image is completely fuzzy : remake the test APS Pre-Sharp ( lens adjustment to have a sufficient sharpness).
