How can I increase the resolution of the displayed image in the FHV remote operation tool?
By default, the resolution of the image displayed by the FHV7 Remote Operation tool is quite low, at 320 pixels in the horizontal axis. This is around half of the effective pixels of the 0.4MP FHV7, or approximately 15% of the effective pixels of the 5.0MP FHV7.
This can give a false perception that the image taken by the FHV7 is a much lower quality than it truly is. This article explains how you can increase the displayed image of the FHV7.
The setting required to change the displayed resolution, is called Display Image Transfer Size, it is not a setting of the camera itself, but can be found during the startup of FH/FHV Remote Operation Tool.
Before you start, identify the number of horizontal pixels available in the FHV7 camera. The bold numbers from the resolution column correspond to '"XXX" of the camera part number.

The steps to change the displayed resolution are as followed:
- Run the FH_FHV Launcher.
- Select the Remote Operation Tool. If known, specify the correct firmware version, then select Run.
- Directly input the IP address of the Sensor to be connected. Alternatively, click browse to find a connectable Sensor on the network.
- Select the Gear Icon to display the Image Transfer Size Setting. Input the pixel quantity derived from table 1 in which to display the image. Select OK, then start the session.
The displayed image in the Remote Operation Tool will now be displayed at a higher resolution, allowing you to view the true resolution of the camera for image inspection.
Network Considerations
This will increase the total size of the packets on the network, and potentially increase the required processing demand on the camera. If you are connecting to the camera through a network switch, be sure to take this into consideration when selecting the display image size. Depending on the resolution of the camera and the frequency of image samples, this may have adverse affects on the network and associated devices.
