ActiveX
control is now built into PPT VISION's
IMPACT™ Software Suite 8.3, which runs on all PPT VISION IMPACT
smart cameras, delivering easy-to-use, advanced inspection capabilities to a broad range of machine vision
applications.
"Users requiring tightly integrated software control can now
seamlessly embed PPT VISION inspection data and control into their own
control or SCADA software," stated Sean O'Driscoll, Executive Vice
President of PPT VISION. "With IMPACT 8.3, machine vision inspections
can be integrated as a critical component of production process
control."
The new IMPACT ActiveX control API operates with common programming
languages (such as VB.NET) and includes sample programs in VB.NET, C#,
Visual Basic 6, and Microsoft Excel. Along with the new ActiveX control
API, IMPACT 8.3 features Control Panel Manager (CPM),
which provides a simpler way to create custom machine operator
interfaces for monitoring and controlling PPT VISION inspections.
The new IMPACT 8.3 Software Suite also includes setups that reduce
both the learning curve and time it takes to program PPT VISION
inspections. Other IMPACT 8.3 features of note include:
- OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tool now provides a setup option for easier configuration—delivers improved read rates
- Origin
tool features improved flexibility and provides sub-pixel accuracy and
repeatability to handle more challenging locating tasks
- Average Intensity tool, a powerful re-engineered tool that simplifies programming for many presence/absence inspections
- Multiple Point-to-Point tool now facilitates easy configuration of any combination of measurements from a group of points
PPT VISION's IMPACT 8.3 Software Suite includes a full emulator—no
camera is required to operate this inspection software on any Windows
PC. Download a FREE copy of the IMPACT 8.3 Software Suite at www.pptvision.com, or call 952-996-9500.
