Chapter 5 Tools Screen
5.1 Overview
Using the Tools screen, the user establishes the inspections that the Sensor will execute. Three sources of inspections
are available:
1. Building an inspection from scratch is the typical method of establishing an inspection. The Tools screen is
designed to aid the user in building an inspection. A typical inspection consists of Location Tools, followed by
Vision Tools, Analysis Tools, and finally (if required) the Communication Tool. The Tools screen, shown below,
supports this inspection organization.
2. Existing inspections can be obtained from the sensor (with or without the reference image) for execution or
modification. This method is very useful if the user has an existing inspection on the controller and needs to make
modifications to establish a new inspection.
3. Existing inspections also can be obtained from host resources using the Library. In this case, the sources of the
inspections are the host’s hard drive or network resources. This method provides access to an unlimited number of
existing inspections (with or without the reference image) for execution or modification.
5.2 Typical Build/Modify Procedure
5.2.1 Choosing a Tool
To choose the right tools for an inspection, consider the tool's parameters and result options:
• Parameters are selected inputs for each tool (for example, relative threshold).
• Results are the information returned from the tool after it has executed.
Some tools perform evaluations, while others provide positional data for the tools that follow. Test tools evaluate,
combine, or compare the results of other tools and determine a Pass-or-Fail judgment.
