How to Calibrate with a 1 TL Coin

  1. Open the screen ruler on your device and select 1 TL Coin from the calibration panel.
  2. Place your 1 tl coin flat on the screen, aligning it with the on-screen outline.
  3. Adjust the calibration slider until the outline matches your 1 tl coin exactly.
  4. The calibration is saved automatically. You can now measure any object with the ruler and get accurate readings in centimeters, millimeters, and inches.

Why Use a 1 TL Coin for Calibration?

Calibration is essential because every screen has a different pixel density (PPI). A pixel on a 6-inch phone screen is physically much smaller than a pixel on a 27-inch desktop monitor. By placing a known-size object on the screen, the ruler can calculate the exact physical size of each pixel and convert measurements accurately.

Coins like the 1 TL Coin are particularly useful because they are standardized, widely available, and easy to position on a screen. Their circular shape makes alignment straightforward.
