How do you record and simulate image acquisition in ZEISS CORRELATE?

Record and replay image sequences to test workflows in ZEISS CORRELATE without needing a physical camera

Overview

Zeiss Inspect allows you to simulate live camera input using pre-recorded images and calibration files. This is especially useful when developing automation scripts outside the lab or without access to a physical system.

Step-by-Step Setup

1. Enable Simulated Cameras

  1. Open Zeiss Inspect

  2. Go to Preferences → Hardware → Expert Settings

  3. Enable "Use recorded measurement images"

2. Set Up the Simulation Folder

Your folder structure should include:

  • cam0/ and cam1/ folders (with image files)

  • A calibration file such as:

    • sensor.xml

    • general.xml

    • atos-v75.calib

3. Run Test Acquisitions

Once configured:

  • Start a measurement as usual

  • Zeiss will pull frames from the provided images sequentially

This allows full validation of dialogs, measurement logic, and automation routines without needing lab access.

Tips

  • You can "loop" over image sets to simulate repeated measurements

  • Pair simulation with scripting (gom.script.measurement.start) to validate sequences
