Stereoacuity [1] is most simply explained by considering one of its earliest test, a two-peg device, named Howard-Dolman test after its inventors: [2] The observer is shown a black peg at a distance of 6m (=20 feet). A second peg, below it, can be moved back and forth until it is just detectably nearer than the fixed one.
With LCD screens, some manufacturers have opted to measure the contrast ratio and report the viewing angle as the angle where the contrast ratio exceeds 5:1 or 10:1, giving minimally acceptable viewing conditions. The viewing angle is measured from one direction to the opposite, giving a maximum of 180° for a flat, one-sided screen.
This distance varies as the window moves, being maximal for some window position. This maximal distance is known as MTIE for the given observation interval. Plotting MTIE vs. different observation interval duration gives a chart useful for characterizing the stability of the clock.
The eye relief of an optical instrument (such as a telescope, a microscope, or binoculars) is the distance from the last surface of an eyepiece within which the user's eye can obtain the full viewing angle. If a viewer's eye is outside this distance, a reduced field of view will be obtained.
In television broadcasting, VIT signals (vertical interval test signals) are a group of test signals inserted in the composite video signal. These signals are used to weight [1] the transmission characteristics of the system between the test generator and the output of the demodulator, where the system includes the microwave links, or TVROs as well as the TV transmitters and the transposers.
The time from the transmission of the initial acoustic pulse until the reply is detected is measured by the USBL system and is converted into a range. To calculate a subsea position, the USBL calculates both a range and an angle from the transceiver to the subsea beacon. Angles are measured by the transceiver, which contains an array of ...
The viewing cone refers to the effective viewing directions of an LCD display, as seen from the eye. This collection of angles resembles a cone. The concept has been introduced as an international standard ISO 13406-2, which defines it as the range of viewing directions that can safely be used for the intended task without "reduced visual performance".
In most situations, the user does not want to just capture an absolute time that an event occurs, but wants to measure a time interval, i.e the time between a start event and a stop event. That can be done by measuring an arbitrary time of both the start and stop events and subtracting. The measurement can be off by two counts.
