Color Area/Area tool
A tool to calculate the matching rate in the area
(number of pixels) of a target to be examined as
the basis (100 %) of the area (number of pixels)
of a registered high-quality-target. This judges
whether a target is a high or low-quality-product
by setting the threshold to the matching rate.
If the sensor is a color type, the tool will be Color
Area tool. The system judges by the area with an
arbitrary specied color.
If the sensor is a monochrome type, the tool will
be the Area tool. The system judges by the area
with an arbitrary specied brightness.

Processing and judgment during an operation
Internal processing <Judge is OK>
Compares the area of a target as dening an
area of high-quality-target to 100 %.
Example when the judgment was NG
Area is narrow Area is wide
The matching rate is indicated in 0 to 100 (default).
100 indicates that an area is completely
matched. The matching rate decreases as
the area of a target narrows.
The setting range of the display range and
threshold for matching rate can be changed to
0-200 or 0-999. Also, a target can be judged
by setting the threshold to the upper limit.
“Setting the upper limit” (Page 4-46)
Position Adjustment tool
A tool to correct the differences in positioning
(position gap) of a target to be examined. The
position adjustment is used with other detection
tools.
