Inspection Workflow
The flow of inspections using FUJIFILM Prescale Mobile is as follows:
You can inspect using FUJIFILM Prescale Mobile .
For simple instructions on how to operate each flow, please consult the Manual.
How to use FUJIFILM Prescale Mobile
Create Inspection menu
Allows you to inspect Prescale individually.
When a boundary image is registered, the inspected Prescale and the boundary image can be compared.
The color bar on the left displays the color that indicates the pressure in the inspection.
You can register a boundary image and superimpose the registered image and the inspected Prescale. This allows you to compare two images by generating another image which analyzes pressure differences.
The color bar on the left indicates the degree of matching between the pressure values in the boundary image and inspection image.
High pressure values are displayed in red.
Low pressure values are displayed in blue.
Matching pressure values are displayed in green.
What is a Cut-off pressure value?
Pressure values lower than the set value will be invalidated.
You can register the value when registering an inspection menu.
How to set a Cut-off pressure value
1. Tap “Cut-off pressure value” on the “Add inspection” screen.
2. Enter the minimum pressure value to be measured.
3. Tap “OK” to finish
What is Auto-Judgement?
You can get the app to carry out automatic pass/fail judgments and display the analytical results by setting a threshold value or a threshold range for physical quantities in advance.
How to set the Auto-Judgement function
1. Tap “Auto-Judgment” on the “Add inspections” screen.
2. Select and set the item for which you want to perform auto judge.
Setting Status
Sets whether or not auto judge is performed in this item. Select “Valid” or “Invalid.”
Upper limit
Selects whether to set the upper limit for judgement. Select “Valid” or “Invalid.”
If “Valid” is selected here, the judgment will be “failure” if the analysis result exceeds the upper limit.
Tap a number to change the upper limit value.
Lower limit
Selects whether to set the lower limit for judgment. Select “Valid” or “Invalid.”
If “Valid” is selected here, the judgment will be “failure” if the analysis result is smaller than the lower limit.
Tap a number to change the lower limit value.
3. Tap “Done.”
The setting is completed and the display returns to the “Auto-Judgement” screen.
When “Valid” is selected for “Setting Status,” the check mark will be placed on the item you have set.
- * Up to three items can be registered for auto judgement. These will be AND conditions.
4. Tap “Done.”
The “Auto-Judgement” items are set and the display returns to the “Add inspections” screen.
What is a boundary image?
A boundary image can be registered by capturing the Prescale.
- *When “Superimpose inspection” is selected for inspection type, “Boundary image” is a required field.
What is an “Eraser”?
You can set the area of the captured image to be excluded from the inspection.
This function can be used for boundary images set when registering an inspection menu.
What is an inspection frame?
You can add up to ten frames to a captured image, so that only the analysis results within the frames will be displayed.
Inspection frames set when registering an inspection menu will be automatically applied after capturing the Prescale for inspection.
How to set a boundary image
1. Tap “Boundary image” on the “Add inspection” screen to start up the camera function.
2. Place the Prescale that you want to register as a boundary image on the calibration sheet.
Put the calibration sheet with the “FUJIFILM” logo side up, and then place the Prescale with the chemicals-applied side (nonglossy side) up on the sheet so that it fits squarely inside the black frame of the calibration sheet.
Capture the Prescale by aligning the camera screen with the L-shaped marks on the four corners of the calibration sheet.
4. Check the captured image, and then select “Use photo.”
To redo capturing, select “Re-capture.”

2. Select a frame shape and set an inspection frame.
Up to ten inspection frames can be set.
Add square frame
Switches to “Add square frame” mode (icon turns blue).

Dragging the image will add a square inspection frame that is segmented into ninths.
Delete inspection frames
Select “Delete inspection frame” to display the dialog box for deletion.
Select the number of the inspection frame you wish to delete, and the selected inspection frame will be deleted.
3. Tap “Done” to finish setting.
What is a color table?
