Set data links allow you to send data to a tool in a vision program from a control. The link is created between
the Impact Connector control and a vision program tool. For example, you can link from the Set Data tab to
a Contrast tool’s Threshold value, then link from a Slider control to the Set Data tab so the Control Panel
operator can adjust the Threshold value from the Control Panel. See “Links between CPM and VPM” on
page 4-15 for more details on links.
The color of the Link name indicates the link’s status:
• Blue - Normal
• Red - unresolved (e.g. due to no loaded vision program or no connection to a device)
• Black - Links to more than one control
