    Videos for All Insight products

    We recommend viewing these videos in top-down sequence.  The videos start with initial training and continue into more in-depth operations.  We also recommend viewing all the videos to ensure you are taking full advantage of all the resources available of the Insight system.

    • Shape Test Image

      Learn differences in how shape measures apply to different particle shapes.  Also, see how differences in shape rejections impact analysis of particles.

    • Method Development

      Detailed video on how to instruct the Insight system to accept and reject specific particles. Learn how to ensure the particles you are interested in measuring are being properly captured.

    • Method Development – Starting a New Run

      In continuation of Method Development, this video goes over the ways to start a new analysis. Please note that this video is also available as a launchable button within the software where new runs are started.

    • Method Development – Quick Adjust

      Part of Method Development requires the user to train the software what particles to capture and which to ignore. This can all be done with the Parameter Quick Adjust. This video goes over all the parameter quick adjust functions.

    • Mastersizer and Hydro Insight

      Learn how to run the Hydro Insight properly when connected to the Mastersizer 3000.

    • Run the Hydro Insight alone

      This video shows how to run the Hydro Insight without the Mastersizer 3000 running at the same time.

    • Settings and Preferences

      This video shows how the Settings and Preference files work for the Insight family of products.

    • Working with Thumbnail Images

      This video shows how to use the Thumbnail feature of the Insight family of products. How to view select thumbnails and obtain more information of the thumbnail images.

    • Correlation Plot Function 1

      This video shows how to use the Correlation Plot Function for the Insight family of software. This function allows users to work with a scatterplot displaying dots for each particle analyzed. Correlation Plots can be done using any two available shape measurements. Additional functionality is also available.

    • Correlation Plot Function 2

      This is an additional, and newer, video of how to use the correlation plots in the Insight family of products.

    • File Types and Locations

      This video is intended to show the user the different files that the Insight family of products creates. There are data files, image files, and setting files. Having an understanding of what they are and where located on your computer will help with any troubleshooting activities needed.
