Output Tabs
Some tools, the Binary Image Filter for example, have an Output Image. The OCR and Character Contour
Match tools have a character library output. The libraries can be modified here if they have not been marked
Read Only (see “Display panel” on page 3-23). These outputs are displayed in the Output tab area.
Vision Program Load
The file names listed here are filtered by the Program name entered in the Display Tab Program Filter field.
See “File Manager Setup Tab” on page 2-37. You can use this feature so the operator can change between
multiple pre-programmed inspections if you define multiple Programs. For example, in applications that use
recipe files, you can define a Vision Program file for each "recipe" and give them same Program name.
Then, enter that Program name in the Display Tab Program Filter. When you want to change the recipe,
choose the desired Vision Program file from the Vision Program Load list.
Files that have the same Program name are "exclusively" loaded. This means that only one Vision Program
file with a specified Program name can be loaded on the Impact device at a time.
The currently loaded Vision Program file name is shown in the title bar at the top of VPM. IMPORTANT:
File names are case sensitive.
