Picking the Editors Menu
The next step, after defining at least one configuration, is taken from the
Configuration Editor panel. You can access this panel from Editors in the
main menu bar. When you pick Editors , the Editors pulldown menu appears,
as shown in Figure 2.4.

Note also that you have four choices: Configuration , Acquisition , Discrete
I/O , and Communications . Briefly, this is what they mean:
•
Configuration –– Use this editor to define one or more sets of inspection
tools for your application.
•
Acquisition –– Use this editor to select the camera types, numbers of
cameras, trigger sources for acquiring camera images, and other
parameters relating to the acquisition of images.
•
Discrete I/O –– Use this editor to assign signals and select parameters for
discrete inputs and outputs.
•
Communications –– Use this editor to create messages for data
communications using serial I/O ports or the remote I/O port.
Selecting Configuration Parameters
When you pick Configuration , the Configuration Editor panel appears, as
shown in the example in Figure 2.5 (page 2–5).
The purpose of the Configuration Editor panel is to set up all of the
inspection application requirements for a single configuration file. Using this
panel, you can select the toolsets (up to six for one configuration file),
configure all of the inspection tools, set various acquisition and inspection
parameters, and perform the initial (“setup mode”) evaluations of the tools’
performance.
The CVIM2 system enters various default names for the toolsets (under the
“
Inspection Name ” heading and the “ Archive Name ” heading); however,
you can easily change any of these names to suit your inspection application.
