Banner PresencePLUS P4 Series - Manual (Page 213)

Description Parent Level Level Name
• Power-up time: time since last shutdown
(resolution = second)
• Pass count
• Fail count
• Missed trigger count: total number of triggers
missed because sensor was not Ready
• Lifetime: ow long the sensor has been turned
on (resolution = 1 hour)
• Total inspection time minimum (ms): minimum
inspection time recorded (resolution = 0.1 ms)
• Total inspection time maximum (ms): maximum
inspection time recorded (resolution = 0.1 ms)
• Total inspection time (ms)*: inspection time from
trigger until the end of processing time for last
inspection (resolution = 0.1 ms) (does not
include inspection capture to PC*)
• Config timestamp: when inspection was created
* Capturing an image on teh PC adds to the
inspection time. Set display settings to None to
decrease the inspection time to a minimum.

10.13 Run Player/Recorder
The Player/Recorder is typically used for troubleshooting and is actually two features in one—a bitmap Player
and a bitmap Recorder. The Recorder can save image files from the camera to an external hard drive for later
use. The Player can force the Vision sensor to run on these stored bitmaps rather than “live” pictures taken
from the imager chip.
The Player/Recorder feature has two states, based on the status of the Start button. If the Start button has not
been pressed, then the sensor can run on saved images. Once the Start button is pressed, then the sensor
is evaluating live images and can't run on saved images.
For non-color cameras, the images which are saved by the Recorder feature are 8-bit grayscale bitmaps with
the same resolution as the vision sensor they came from. A P4 Geo would generate 128x100 resolution BMP
files (13.5 kB in size) while a P4 Omni would make 640x480 BMPs (302 kB) and a P4 BCR 1.3 make 1280x1024
BMPs (1282 kB). The Player feature will work only for the correct resolution images; but it does not care where
those images come from originally. Anything that can generate an 8-bit grayscale bitmap of the correct resolution
can be a source for Player images: a digital camera, a photo-editing software package, an image from another
sensor, etc.
