Video Inspection Software User’s Guide
pattern recognition results in more consistent playback in random fixturing scenarios, and speeds playback through the soft-fixture part positioning. CNC focus mode measurements can be performed using any of the measuring probes in encoder-based systems equipped with the Auto Focus option. The focus mode is enabled, the measurement is initiated, the system focuses and measures automatically during program playback. Hardware frame latching and a digital camera interface provide extremely accurate and repeatable autofocus results.
Image stitching is included in CNC systems to scale and fit large parts within the field or view.
Industry-standard methods of stage and camera calibration are supported, including LEC, SLEC, NLEC, orthogonality, pixel size, camera skew and field of view. Microsoft Windows 7, 8, or 10 provides the operating system basis of the functionality, performance, and reliability necessary to address the wide variety of application requirements such as exporting data, printing reports and interfacing to third-party applications. The software can be in one of four operating modes: • Interactive: The software has just been launched and no program exists yet, or new a program is being recorded as measurements are made. • Program: A complete program is loaded, and features are displayed in the Feature list. If the program has not yet collected feature data in the playback mode, the Report screen displays the feature data from the original measuring/recording sequence. After the program has been played back and gathered new feature data, the measurement results are shown in numbered run tabs. The program can be played back again or edited by pressing tabs at the top of the Feature list. • Playback: The part program is executed to perform repeated measurements of part features on identical parts. The various measurement, tolerance and other program activities are shown as the program is executed. Upon program completion, a new run tab is created in the result database showing the most recent measurement results and the software returns to the program mode. On-screen guidance is provided during playback that helps the user move from one feature to the next in non-CNC systems. • Program Edit: The program edit mode is used to modify steps of a part program file. In the edit mode, program steps can be modified, deleted, or added. Functions including re-measuring features, appending new measurement steps, and changing system parameters such as light levels, camera magnifications and probe path data can be performed.
