OPTICAL TESTING INSTRUMENTS

SIAM - Secondary Image Angle Measuring Instrument

 

The Secondary Image Angle Measuring Instrument (SIAM) is a measuring device for the determination of angles between primary and secondary images for windshields. It is very useful in positioning Heads Up Displays (HUD's).

SIAM - Secondary Image Angle Measuring Instrument

​

Description

​

The included software allows the automatic determination of the angle as well as the recording of the angle together with its measuring position on the windshield. The instrument uses a collimated laser as a source, and a telescope equipped with a log sensitivity camera as a detector. This allows the primary and secondary image, which differ in intensity by several orders of magnitude, to both be detected on the same camera without over saturating the image. The instrument works in compliance with ECE R43. For more information regarding this compliance, please view the presentation available below in the downloads section.

Features

​

  • No disturbance by local refractive index and power variations due to small diameter of the test beam

  • Easy and fast set-up of the instrument

  • Laser is eyesafe

  • Measurement value is independent of the distance between laser, windshield and telescope

  • Objective measurement results due to PC-based image evaluation software
