Description Parent Level Level Name
• Total inspection time minimum (ms): minimum
inspection time recorded (resolution = 0.1 ms)
• Total inspection time maximum (ms): maximum
inspection time recorded (resolution = 0.1 ms)
• Total inspection time (ms)*: inspection time from
trigger until the end of processing time for last
inspection (resolution = 0.1 ms) (does not include
inspection capture to PC*)
• Config timestamp: when inspection was created
* Capturing an image on teh PC adds to the inspection
time. Set display settings to None to decrease the
inspection time to a minimum.

10.13 Run Player/Recorder
The Player/Recorder is typically used for troubleshooting and is actually two features in one—a bitmap Player and a
bitmap Recorder. The Recorder can save image files from the camera to an external hard drive for later use. The Player
can force the Vision sensor to run on these stored bitmaps rather than “live” pictures taken from the imager chip.
The Player/Recorder feature has two states, based on the status of the Start button. If the Start button has not been
pressed, then the sensor can run on saved images. Once the Start button is pressed, then the sensor is evaluating live
images and can't run on saved images.
For non-color cameras, the images which are saved by the Recorder feature are 8-bit grayscale bitmaps with the same
resolution as the vision sensor they came from. A P4 Geo would generate 128x100 resolution BMP files (13.5 kB in
size) while a P4 Omni would make 640x480 BMPs (302 kB) and a P4 BCR 1.3 make 1280x1024 BMPs (1282 kB).
The Player feature will work only for the correct resolution images; but it does not care where those images come from
originally. Anything that can generate an 8-bit grayscale bitmap of the correct resolution can be a source for Player
images: a digital camera, a photo-editing software package, an image from another sensor, etc.
