Special Tools Overview
AdeptSight software provides several tools for special applications.
Sequence
The Sequence object shows the list of tools that will be executed as part of the sequence and
the order in which they will be executed. It also maps a V+ sequence number to the “top-
level” vision tool. "Top-level" means the last tool executed. This enables you to access an
AdeptSight sequence with the sequence_id parameter from a V+ program instruction or func-
tion. See AdeptSight Sequence on page 181.
Overlap Tool
The Overlap Tool ensures that the AdeptSight system does not try to handle the same part
twice. This is generally placed before another tool, to be sure that the second tool processes
each part only one time. See Overlap Tool on page 193Overlap Tool on page 193.
Communication Tool
The Communication Tool determines how parts are distributed between the controller and
the next vision tool in the sequence. This gives you the ability to decide how to respond when
there are too many parts for a single robot to process. See Communication Tool on page 183
and Configuring Communication Tool Properties on page 189.
