Taking a Picture​

Downloading an image from the CODiScan can take several seconds.

To take a picture with the CODiScan tap the capture button near the bottom of the screen. Pressing this button will cause the CODiScan illumination to briefly turn on before the CODiScan will capture an image. The screen will then transition to a loading screen. Once downloaded, the image will be displayed in the image window. Images can be accessed by pressing the picture button to the left of the capture button.
