Vision System Setup
If the Vision System has not been calibrated since FMW was initially installed, you will
receive a notice when FMW starts, indicating that the Vision System has not been calibrated.
If the camera or any part of the vision system has been changed or upgraded, the Vision
System will need to be re-calibrated. It is also a good troubleshooting routine to perform if
you are having trouble identifying fiducials, corners or see an accuracy problem.
To start Camera Calibration:
1. In the FMW Main Window, click on Configuration.
2. From the Configuration menu, select Setup Vision.
> The Vision Parameters dialog box in Figure 6-3 opens and displays the
parameters configured for your system at installation.

3. Click on Calibrate in the General segment of the dialog box.
> A Teach Window opens.
> Load a board if one is not already loaded.
4. Use the Position Controls to locate a Model Fiducial.
