Blob Sort Order
Once you select a Sort method, you need to define a Sort Order:
• If Position is selected for the Sort method, then Blob order is based on the x,y coordinates of the centroids and the
options are—
• Left most
• Top most
• Right most
• Bottom most
• For any of the other options, Blob order is based on Increasing or Decreasing value of the parameter selected. For
example, if Perimeter and Increasing is selected, the smallest perimeter Blob will be Blob #1.
Blob Filter
The Blob filter allows you to more accurately select a specific Blob to locate and to use for positioning other Vision
tools. Filter modifies the Blob count based on Computed Statistics criteria so that, for example, only circular Blobs
(compactness) or symmetric Blobs (eccentricity) are included in the Blob count.
When you click the Preset button, the sensor uses the selected Blob to preset the filter values so that only the selected
Blob will subsequently be identified by the sensor. This reduces the time it would take to manually enter values. When
the sensor is in Run mode, you should use the runtime filter results to fine-tune these settings.
