Setup Reticles to set up the parameters for your reticles.
!A Teach Window will prompt you through the process.
!Reticles are used to calculate size, measure distance, and center objects within the video
display screen.
- For example, when you are prompted to center the crosshairs over a dispensed dot,
reticles can help ensure that the crosshairs are as close to center as possible.
- Circle reticles are helpful during programming to ensure that the needle remains a safe
distance away from the part to avoid making contact, but also close enough to ensure
proper dispensing.
