Calculated Frame
Calculated Frames are used to create a vision frame from other features. Frames allow you to
place vision tools on objects that are not always in the same location or orientation. When
you create a vision tool, you can specify that it be relative to a vision frame. If the object that
defines this vision frame moves, so will the vision frame and the tools that are relative to that
frame. You can also create a fixed frame using this tool.
Calculate a frame based on a specific calculation mode. Possible modes are:
l Two lines (X axis line, Y axis line)
l Two points (Origin, +X point)
l
A fixed frame of reference
l
Single point (Origin point with no rotation)
l
Relative to a frame
l One point and a line (An origin point following the angle of the line)
To create a Calculated Frame tool, right-click in the Tree structure, then select:
New > Vision > Tool > Calculated Frame
The following example calculates a frame from two lines.
