Light Control When using Cameras with Intelligent Lighting, the light level can be adjusted

from the Co ntroller. Before using Inte lligent Lighting , be sure to change the settings in SYS/Camera settings.

SeeAlso Refer to 5-2 Camera Settings.

CHECK When the shutter speed is faster than 1/2000 s, the brightness of the lighting

may not change even if the light level is changed. Intelligent lighting uses pulse lighting synchronized with the shutter speed and

the light level can be adjusted by changing the pulse width. If the light level is at the maximum setting of 7, the pulse width is approximately 450 ms and the time the shutter is open is about the same as when the shutter speed is set to 1/2000 s. This means that settings will become invalid (the brightness will not

1-6-3-5 Changing Differential Judgements as Required

Differential judgement values use the basic gradation of the differences between the model and measurement object images. Differential judgement values can be set between 1 and 255. Pixels in areas with a difference greater than the differential judgement value are converted to 1 (white) and all other pixels are converted to 0 (blac k). Thu s , only the de fects are converted to white pixels and are measured.

The default differential judgement value of 50 is usually sufficient, but change this value if the defects are not being detected properly.

Pixels in areas with a differential greater than the differential judgement value are converted to 1 (white).

CHECK Re-register the model if the boundary level has been changed.

Perturbation Select whether or not to perform a search near the registered model position.

Density Normalization

This function can be set to OFF* or ON. If OFF is selected, matching is performed only at the registered position, which reduces processing time.

The asterisk (*) indicates the default setting.

This function is used to select whether or not to normalize the density in line with the brightness of the registered model. The selections are OFF* and ON.

The asterisk (*) indicates the default setting. If ON is selected, matching is performed after the density is compensated,

even if the overall brightness of the image has changed. This means that the measurement is less likely to be affected by lighting variations.

Save settings to flash memory before turning the power OFF.

Precaution Flash memory data is loaded each time the Controller is started. Therefore,

when settings have been changed, be sure to save then to flash memory before turning OFF the power. If the power is turned OFF without saving new settings, all of the setting changes will be lost. Stored images cannot be saved to flash memory so all stored images will be cleared when the po w er is turned OFF. If stored images are to be kept, backup the images to a personal computer or Memory Card. Refer to SECTION 4 Other Functions.

2-1-1-3 Calibration

Calibration can be set to output the measurement results in physical units. There are four settings for calibration: Sampling, Specifying point, Specifying

coordinate axis, and Parameter input.

HELP Refer to 7HUPLQRORJ\ for information on calibration.

CHECK To output measurem ent res ults in physical units, set Coordinate mode/Calibra-

tion to ON for each processing item. If Calibration remains set to OFF, the default settings will remain, and mea-

surements using the Camera coordinates will be output.

Sampling The sampling function is used to set calibration based on measurement

results. Register a model, and perform a sample measurement to obtain the position. (The position will be obtained in sub-pixel units.) Enter the physical coordinates of the position of the model. The calibration will be calculated automatically. Sample measurements can be made in up to 3 places.

• When the magnifications are the same for the X and the Y directions, make sample measurements in 2 places only.

• W hen the ma gnificat ions in th e X and Y directio ns are di fferent, perfor m sampling measurement in 3 places.

2-1-2 Camera Selection

Up to four Cameras can be connected. Select Camera is used to select which Camera image will be used for measurement.

The Controller has two image memories that store two images called Image 0 and Image 1 for the Camera selected under Select Camera. Both images are from the same Camera number but different filtering can be applied to each.

Whether Image 0 or Image 1 is used for measurement depends on the processing item, so refer to the explanation for each processing item for details.

2-1-4 Filtering

The image read by the Camera can be manipulated to create an image that is easier to measure by using the 9 filtering methods: Weak smoothing, strong smoothing, dilation , e rosion , medi an, ed ge enh ancem ent, v e rtical edge e x trac tion, horizontal edge extraction, and edge extraction. The filtering can be set separately for Image 0 and Image 1.

The cursor can be moved on the image to see the effects of filtering. Select filtering while confirming the results on the image.
