Communication
In addition to the standard hardware ports
(serial interface, parallel I/Os), Vision P400
supports two software interfaces – named pipe
and OLE automation (ActiveX®). They enable
Vision P400 to communicate with other
Windows application or to realize customized
user interfaces for your application. Additionally,
special actions such as storing NG-images,
output warning messages, etc. can be easily
realized using Vision P400’s Action command
button.
Offline parameterization
To create a Vision P400 inspection program, it is
not mandatory to have a real P400MA/P400
system at hand. Using our free simulation
software, any PC or notebook with MS Windows
can be used to set-up, test or to optimize a
Vision P400 inspection routine. This simulation
software offers all major functions of the real
version.
Stability
Vision P400 offers many useful image pre-
processing functions such as an exposure
adjustment, which compensates potential
fluctuations in environmental brightness.
The position/rotation adjustment ensures correct
inspection if the object’s position varies. Several
filter functions help to optimize the image quality
prior to the real evalutation. All these functions
significantly improve inspection stability for
critical applications.
