Auto Setup
5–9
The auto setup process begins when you pick Auto Setup in the Blister
Setup menu bar. It involves the following main tasks:
•
Focusing the camera and obtaining an image of good blisters.
•
Positioning an image window around all blisters.
•
Teaching the background color.
•
Teaching the pocket color (for aluminum blisters).
•
Teaching the tablet or capsule color (or colors).
•
Positioning a window around one blister, and automatically creating
“clones” of the window around all other blisters.
•
Setting the minimum object area.
•
Performing the “teach–in” function, during which the system calculates
tolerance parameters for position, area, and shape variations.
When you pick the Auto Setup menu item, the Auto Setup menu appears,
as shown in Figure 5.2.

Selecting Auto Setup Menu
The Focus Camera option enables you to obtain a setup image. The lower
three menu items in the Auto Setup menu identify the three entry points to
the auto setup process, as follows:
•
Learn Colors –– From this entry point, the system will step through the
complete auto setup process and create a complete new blister
configuration.
•
Position Windows –– This entry point bypasses the Learn Colors steps
and goes directly to the point of positioning a teach window. Accessing
Position Windows would be appropriate when the size and/or position of
any of the blister windows must be changed, but the colors do not need to
be re–learned.
•
Teach–in –– This entry point bypasses the Learn Colors and Position
Windows steps and goes directly to the point of learning the object
positions. Accessing Teach–in would be appropriate when the nominal
object positions must be re–learned and/or a new set of samples
evaluated, but neither the colors nor the blister window positions need to
be changed.
