Setup
4.1 Setup Screen
The Vision sensor has two modes: running and idle. If the sensor is idle when you start up the PresencePLUS
software while your PC is connected, the software starts in the Setup screen. If the sensor is running, then the
software starts in the Run screen.
4.2 Capturing a Reference Image
The reference image is used as a template for developing an inspection. The Vision tools use this image to
acquire the critical information needed for the inspection.
Acquiring a quality image is crucial for a successful inspection. A quality image shows a measurable and
repeatable difference between good products (which pass inspection) and bad products (which fail inspection).
Most commonly, what determines the quality of the image is the illumination.
