This image display area is where you configure Regions of Interest (ROI) and other tool parameters. To
enable automatic image linking when new tools are added to the task, see “Program Preferences” on page 3-
9. To auto-save images, see “Program Preferences” on page 3-9.
If you are using an image processing tool with an ROI, the tool will not work correctly if all or part of the
ROI extends past the edge of the image. If this happens, an "ROI Off Image" watermark will be displayed
over the image display area for five seconds or until you move the ROI back onto the image.
To acquire an image
1. Select the task icon.
2. Click the drop-down arrow in the Trigger Event field and select Image In Event if it is not already
selected. You should only have one Image In Event task in a program.
3. Click the Snap button in the Tool Test Button area. If a camera is connected to the device, the camera
image is displayed. If the device is in File Camera mode, an image from the device’s image memory is
displayed. (For File Camera mode see “File Camera or Camera” on page 3-11.) Color images are dis-
played only on the Color Image tab.
You can "float" the Image Display area to make it larger so you can see it better or move it to a second mon-
itor so you can see it while you create or move ROIs. The float option is not available on the Setup tab.
To float the Image Display Area
1. Click the pushpin in the upper right corner of the Image Display Area (next to the cursor location
value).
2. Click the title bar to drag the Image Display. Click the corners or edges to resize the display.
3. To return the Image Display Area to its normal position, you can click the pushpin in the corner of the
floating Image Display area, or the permanent display area.
