PresencePLUS Software operation
3-point click-and-go Intuitive, wizard-like graphics walk the oper-
ator through adjusting the sensor position, selecting the features
to inspect, operating the sensor and monitoring its outputs.
Setup Dynamically view the sensor image, adjust the lighting
position and intensity, and then focus the lens to maximize contrast
between target features and the background.
Tools Highlight the features to inspect while selecting tools and
filters to maximize robust operation. Choose criteria and margins
for good or failed outputs. Select data or images to communicate
through the Ethernet or serial ports.
Run Operate inspections and sensor outputs while viewing
images or exploring the detailed, comprehensive inspection
results. Select the inspection to run. Log any inspection to archive
its images and results.
