PC Printout

The Camera Tester can sent data to a PC via USB. It does this by emulating a keyboard and works with Mac, PC or Linux. The computer’s keyboard should be set to US QWERTY layout otherwise some text characters will come through oddly.

To use PC printout:

  1. Turn on the Reveni Labs Camera Tester without USB connected

  2. Connect the Tester to your computer using the included USB cable

  3. Open Microsoft Excel or another spreadsheet program

  4. Place the cursor at cell A1 (top left corner)

  5. Take a reading with the Camera Tester in Curtain, Leaf, Leaf Exposure or Curtain Exposure modes

  6. Press and hold the UP button for 1 second

  7. Some Camera Tester setting lines, extra fill-in lines like make, model, date, column headers, and first row of data will be filled in on the screen. This takes a couple of seconds to complete.

  8. With each subsequent reading, hold the UP button again to add the new data to the spreadsheet. Don’t move the cursor from the currently selected cell, the Camera Tester will move the selected cell automatically as needed.

  9. Exiting to the menu will reset the printout and the extra information and column headers will be reprinted again.

Release V1.9-N - new sensor front

Release V1.9-O - old sensor front

Release notes:

  • Two new versions available now; one for the new sensor front dimensions and one for the old sensor front dimensions

  • Now shows B and T (bottom and top) instead of left and right when vertical shutter is selected

Release V1.8 - Click here to download

Release notes:

  • Improved accuracy in the 1/2000+ range, through improved software compensations

  • Curtain travel times can now be calculated even if one of the detectors is not triggered, which also allows for more software compensations to be used when only two sensors are triggered, increasing accuracy in this case.

  • Many small alterations to text to improve clarity.

  • Curtain Shutter flash contact detection now shows the time between curtain 1 fully opening and the flash contact closing, as well as the time from the flash contact closing to the start of curtain 2 starting to close.

Release V1.6 - Click here to download

Release notes:

  • Sensitivity is now displayed as 1-5 with 1 being lowest and 5 being highest, instead of 0 being highest and 4 being lowest. Higher number = higher sensitivity

  • Fixed flash delay bug. Flash delay is now displayed with respect to first curtain fully opening, or leaf shutter fully opening. Delays can be negative or positive depending on when the flash contact is detected either before the shutter fully opens or after the shutter fully opens.

  • Fixed a bug causing negative numbers to appear during leaf shutter testing

  • Some text alterations to improve clarity

Release V1.5 - Click here to download

Release notes:

  • Improved curtain measurement accuracy

  • Changed curtain fractional readouts to remove information that is not useful (like last digit and decimal place when testing over 1/1000, last two digits when testing over 1/10000)

  • Added new curtain times and velocity display

  • Changed how the different screens are navigated

  • Added notes on what the buttons do in each mode at the bottom of each menu page

  • Added manual sensor sensitivity control rather than trying to calculate the sensitivity based on a user input aperture value and the current light panel brightness. This makes working with AE modes much easier, I find.

  • Adjusted sensor sensitivity ranges for some aperture values in Leaf Shutter test mode

Release V1.3 - Click here to download

Release notes:

  • Fixed math issue with 6-by-X Sensor Head

  • Adjusted sensor sensitivity range for BARE and LF shutters in Leaf Shutter test mode

  • Adjusted sensor sensitivity ranges for some aperture values in Leaf Shutter test mode
