The Vision 8 Development Module is a comprehensive suite of vision software tools that engineers, integrators and machine builders can use to improve system efficiency and save money by increasing quality control in the manufacturing process.
Included is an extensive collection of vision libraries with acquisition software for thousands of cameras—including those based on the IEEE 1394 (Firewire) connection standard—all optimized for common programming environments like LabView and Microsoft C++, Visual Basic and .Net. In addition, the Vision 8 Development Module includes several tools to help engineers identify packaging and assembly errors earlier in production. Algorithms for golden template comparison and optical character verification inspection can identify flaws in labels and defects in products. A Data Matrix grading tool verifies that 2D bar codes are applied correctly in accordance with the ISO 16022 (AIM) standard. Pricing starts at $2,895.
