5 Working with the Inspector Viewer

5.1

Live View screen

Live View screen displays live images incoming from the connected Inspector. Its design slightly differs depending on that, which Inspector is connected. Therefore, following sections describe the screen for Ixx/PI50

Inspectors and P30 separately. Note that the Live View screen is accessible only when an Inspector is connected.

5.1.1

Ixx and PI50 Inspectors

Figure 3: Live View screen (Inspector I20)

Images from the Inspector (overlayed with defined inspections) are displayed in the central part of the screen.

In case when Inspector I10 or I20 is connected, the live images are smaller (not across the whole main pane).

The Live View can be configured to stop displaying new incoming images in case of a failed analysis, see section

5.2.8

. Following controls can be found on the Live View screen on the right side panel (controls are described

from the top to down in order as they appear):

• LOGOUT/LOGIN button - With this button you can login to a different user account or logout from the currently used user account. The button is labeled LOGIN in case you are not logged in (i.e. the default user account is being used); in the opposite case it is labeled LOGOUT.

• SWITCH MODE button - Toggles mode of the Inspector between EDIT and RUN. If you want to switch the mode, you have to be logged in as a user with right to Change Inspector mode (see section

5.2.10

).

• MENU button - Returns user back to the MENU screen (see section

5.2.1

).

• Result panel (below the MENU button) - Color indicates result of image analysis associated with the currently displayed image.

Green - the analysis passed.

Red - the analysis failed.

Blue - object was not located.

• Statistics - displays basic statistics in the RUN mode. Following values are shown:

. Passed - Number of passed analyses.

. Failed - Number of failed analyses.

. Not located - Number of analyses with result ’Not located’.



. Not located and failed - Number of analyses with result ’Not located and detail failed’ (supported only by PI50 Inspector)

• LIVE button - When selected, live images from the connected Inspector will be displayed on the screen

(it is activated by default).

• LOG button - By pressing the LOG button the Inspector Viewer downloads the logged images from

Inspector and displays them in the strip at the bottom of the screen. Images can be browsed by the arrows on the left and right edge of the strip.

• RESUME button - This button is visible only if Stop live image when not located or detail failed mode is selected (see section

5.2.8

) and LIVE button is pressed. In such a case, when a failed analysis is detected,

the Inspector Viewer freezes displayed image and will not resume normal operation until this button is pressed.

• Log images strip (below the main image pane) - Displays images downloaded from the Inspectors log memory (visible only in the LOG mode) and allows user to browse through them.

5.1.2

P30 Inspector

Most of the controls of the Live View screen for the P30 Inspector are identical as the ones present on the

Ixx/PI50 Inspector screen. Therefore, only differences will be explained in this section.

Figure 4: Live View screen (Inspector P30)

• Compass control - navigates to the position where the object was located. Following states are possible:

. Object not located - All arrows are blank and center of the Compass is covered with a blue cross (see

Fig.

5(a) )

. Object located outside of the passing region - A single arrow is painted red. It points to the direction where the Inspector must be shifted in order to fit the object into the passing region (see Fig.

5(b) )

. Object located inside of the passing region - All arrows are blank and center of the Compass is filled with a green circle (see Fig.

5(c) )

If the passing region is not defined, then the Compass control will be replaced with the two state indicator

(similar to one used for the Ixx Inspectors): (1) Green color indicates, that object was found; and (2)

Blue means that the object was not found.



• Position and rotation of the located object - displayed below the Compass control. Following options are possible:

. If object locator is active, then only a single object can be located. Thus, its results are displayed here.

. If blob locator is selected, then several objects can be located. In this case, only the results for the most significant object are displayed here (all results can be found on the Results screen, see section

5.2.2

)

(a) Object not located (b)

Object located outside of the passing region

(c)

Object located inside of the passing region

Figure 5: Possible forms of the Compass control

If the images on this screen are not refreshing, then check the Inspector Settings (see section

5.2.4

).

5.2

Other screens

All screens of the Inspector Viewer application contain following common controls:

• Top status bar, where information about current state is displayed (described from left to right; see Fig.

6 ):

. Connected Inspector shows - (1) type and IP address of the currently connected Inspector; or (2) text No Inspector connected if no Inspector is connected.

. Reference object shows - (1) Name of the active reference object on currently connected Inspector; or (2) blank if none is active.

. Programmable trig enabled - Indicates whether programmable trigger is enabled

5.2.3

Select Reference Object screen

To get to this screen press button Select Reference Object on the Menu screen. It shows available reference objects in the Inspector and allows to teach-in a new image from the current live image.

Reference image tab

Reference Image tab shows the list of the reference objects in the Inspector and the active reference object is displayed in the main image pane. User can select new reference object from the list at the bottom of the screen (either by clicking on the icon of the reference object or by using the arrows on the sides of this list).

Marked reference object is then set as active through the SELECT button (active only on this tab). Only after this button is pressed, the new active reference object is set in the Inspector and it is also displayed on the main image pane.

Change reference object

When the Inspector is in the EDIT mode, it is possible to change the active reference object by selecting a reference object in the list. To change it you need to be logged in as a user with Change Inspector mode and

Change active reference object priviledges:

. Change to EDIT mode.

. Press button Select Reference Object on the Menu screen.

. Switch to the Reference image tab.

. The active reference object is highlighted in the list on the bottom of the screen and displayed on the main image pane.

. Select the desired reference object from the list and press SELECT button.

. The selected reference object is set as active.

Live image tab

The Live Image tab is utilized for re-teaching of the active reference object. Following buttons are active when this tab is selected:

. AUTO IMAGE SETTINGS - Automatically sets exposure and gain in order to optimize brightness of live images. This setting applies only to the active reference object.

. TEACH-IN - Teaches in a new reference image for the active reference object. The reference image is replaced with the current live image.

All other properties of the active reference object such as regions and thresholds remain unchanged.

5.2.4

Inspector Settings screen

This screen allows you to configure how the Inspector handles the acquired images. All settings are editable in the EDIT mode only.

(a) I10 and I20 Inspectors (b) I40 Inspector

(c) P30 Inspector (d) PI50 Inspector

Figure 12: Inspector settings screens for different Inspector models

I10 and I20 Inspectors

For I10 and I20 Inspectors, you can select which images will be logged within the Inspectors internal memory.

Following options are available (see Fig.

12(a) ):

. All images - all acquired images will be logged

. Detail failed - images with at least one failed inspection will be logged

I40 Inspector

For I40 Inspector, you can select which images will be logged within the Inspectors internal memory. Following options are available (see Fig.

12(b) ):



. Passed - images with all inspections passed will be logged



. Located - images where object was located will be logged

. Not located or detail failed - images where an inspection failed or object was not located, will be logged

Additionally, you can select, whether the images will be also sent to the Viewer FTP server. Sending images this way is faster than using Live images, but still does not ensure, that all captured images will be transfered.

Furthermore, images sent via FTP do not contain inspection-related information. Images are sent if following conditions are met: (1) image obeys rules set in Log images section and (2) the Inspector is in the RUN mode.

P30 Inspector

For P30 Inspector, you can select which images will be logged within the Inspectors internal memory and which will be sent as Live images independently. Following options are available for both cases (see Fig.

12(c) ):

. All images - all acquired images

. Located - images, where object was located

. Not located - images, where object was not located

PI50 Inspector

For PI50 Inspector, you can select which images will be logged within the Inspectors internal memory, which will be sent as Live images, whether images will be sent to Viewer FTP server, and whether web server of the

Inspector is activated.

Log image settings are the same as for I40 Inspector. I.e. following options are available:



. Passed - images with all inspections passed will be logged

. Located - images where object was located will be logged

. Not located or detail failed - images where an inspection failed or object was not located, will be logged

Live image settings provide two options:

. All images - all acquired images will be displayed

. Located - images where object was located will be displayed

Note that Live image settings are effective only on reference objects that have an object locator defined.

When there is no object locator defined all images are treated as if object was located, and therefore All images and Located Live image settings will both display all images.

FTP settings are the same as for I40 Inspector and same restrictions apply.

The last option, Web server enabled, allows to switch on/off the internal web server of the Inspector.

5.2.5

Inspection Chart screen

Every inspection performed by Inspector is evaluated and a chart can be built up from the inspection results.

The purpose of this screen is to allow user to review score charts of inspections defined in the active reference object applied to acquired live images.

To get to this screen press button Inspection Chart on the Menu screen.



Figure 13: Inspection Chart screen

Select an inspection from the list of Inspections located on the right side of the screen. The chart is composed of the scores sent by Inspector as a part of live images. Inspector Viewer collects these scores and thus it can plot a chart for every inspection. The score is then compared with the score limits (marked with red lines in the chart). If the score is within the limits then the inspection passed, otherwise it failed.

Keep in mind that Inspector does send only a limited number of images per second. Some values may be missing from the chart.

This screen also displays some basic statistics for values displayed in the chart:

. Min - minimal score

. Max - maximal score

. Mean - average score

If the active reference object has an object locator defined, its chart is listed as the first one. Charts of inspections and other tools follow based on the type of connected Inspector:

. Ixx Inspector - all defined inspections

. P30 Inspector - all defined grip regions (in Object locator mode) or blob locator (in Blob locator mode)

. PI50 Inspector - all defined inspections, polygon tools and blob tools (in this order)

Below the chart is RESET button. By pressing it, all charts of inspections will be reset.

5.2.6

Statistics screen

To get to this screen press Statistics on the Menu screen.

The statistics are displayed for reference object selected in the list of Reference objects situated on the right side of the screen. The active reference object is selected by default and the statistics are refreshed automatically.

It is possible to reset the statistics for Inspectors I40 and PI50 using RESET button (other types do not support this feature).



Figure 14: Statistics screen

5.2.7

History View screen

To get to History View screen press button History View on the Menu screen. This screen allows you to browse images stored in the Inspector Viewer permanent memory and in the currently connected Inspector.

The screen offers several types of the repositories where images can be stored (the selected archive can be browsed using arrows on the sides of the image pane):

. Live Images (button LIVE ) - images regularly sent by Inspector; images are stored locally on the Viewer disk. Note, that no images are stored in case, when the current reference object is not taught-in.

. Log Images (button LOG) - up to 30 images stored in Inspector’s internal memory; images are always downloaded directly from the currently connected Inspector.

. FTP Images (button FTP ) - I40 and PI50 can send images to FTP server on the Inspector Viewer; images are stored locally on the Viewer’s disk. This button is enabled only when an I40 or a PI50

Inspector is connected. Note, that no images are stored in case, when the current reference object is not taught-in.

If you wish to erase any of the archives you have to be logged in as user with right to Delete history data.

Press button CLEAR on the History View screen and the whole archive you have currently selected will be deleted.

The button EXPORT. . . lets you save the currently selected history archive to an external memory device.

Inspection results for Ixx and PI50 Inspectors

If information about inspection or tool results are available they are shown in the Inspections list on the right side of the image pane:

. Green - if inspection/tool passed
