Test Measurement before Actual Operation

After editing the flow and setting processing items for each processing unit, perform a test measurement to confirm whether the measurement is performed as intended with the settings. Repeat test measurements for confirmation and, depending on the test results, adjust the ProcItem settings for each processing unit.
Measure using the conditions set in a scene. You can specify whether or not to output the test measurement results to an external device.
Note
  • If "Only NG" or "All" is selected for "Image logging" in [Logging setting], images can be saved to the memory/RAM disk of the controller, or to USB memory. When saving to the controller's memory, if the number of the saved images exceeds the limit, images are overwritten sequentially starting with the oldest one.
    Setting up Logging Condition [Logging setting]
    A saved image can be used for measurement.
    Re-measuring Saved Images (Re-measurement)
  • To reset the number of measurements, which is counted in a specified expression, clear the measurement results.
    Clearing Measurement Results
  1. In the "Control" area of the Main screen, tap [Test measurement setting].
  2. Specify each of the following items.
    Main screen
    Table: Test measurement
    Setting Item
    Description
    Output
    Specifies whether or not to output the measurement results to an external device during the measurement.
    Checked
    Outputs the measurement results to an external device during the measurement.
    Unchecked
    Does not output the measurement results to an external device during the measurement.
    Continuous measurement
    Specifies whether or not to perform continuous measurements.
    In continuous measurements, saved images or measured images are measured continuously.
    Checked
    Performs continuous measurements during the measurement.
    Unchecked
    Does not perform continuous measurements during the measurement.
    Note
    • When measurement is performed in the RUN window, measurement results are output to an external device regardless of the "Output" setting.
    • Whenever switching from the RUN window to the ADJUST window, "Output" is unchecked.
  3. Tap [Measure] in the Toolbar.
    Main screen
    Measurement is performed.
    Note
    • An alternative operation: tap [Measure] - [Test meas.].
    • In continuous measurements, the [Measure] button changes to the [Stop meas.] button during the measurement. To stop the continuous measurements, tap [Stop meas.].
  4. Verify measurement results.
    For instructions on how to check the measurement results, see Confirming the Measurement Results (ADJUST window).
  5. If necessary, adjust setting values for each processing item again.
    When tapping a button (icon) for any processing units listed in the flow on the Main screen or in the Edit Flow window, the ProcItem Setting window is displayed.

    For details, see Confirming the Measurement Results and Adjusting Processing Unit Settings.
    For property setting of Processing Item, seeProcessing item List.
    Note
    • The ProcItem Setting window can also be displayed by tapping the ProcItem setting button in the "Image display" area.

  6. Measurement test should be carried out again with corrected contents.
    For instructions on how to re-measure images that have been once test-measured, without obtaining any images from the camera, see Re-measuring Saved Images (Re-measurement).
