Step 4 — Install AutoVISION

AutoVISION can be found on the Microscan Tools Drive that is packaged with the camera.

1. Follow the prompts to install AutoVISION from the Tools Drive.

2. Click on the AutoVISION icon to run the program.

Note: AutoVISION can also be installed from the Download Center at www.microscan.com.

Minimum System Requirements

• Core2Duo processor

• Windows 7 32-bit or XP operating system

• Internet Explorer 7 or higher

• 2GB RAM/128MB Video RAM (Windows 7); 1GB/128MB Video RAM (XP)

• 750MB to 1GB hard drive space

• 16-bit color display

• 3.0 Windows Experience Index (4.0 preferred)

Step 2 — Connect the System

1. Mount the camera (1) as required by the application.

2. Connect the Ethernet Cordset (7) from “B” on the camera (1) to the network.

3. Connect the power supply (6) to “3” on the QX-1 (2).

4. Connect the trigger (8) to “T” on the QX-1 (2).

5. Connect the “Common” Cordset (3) to “2” on the QX-1 and “A” on the camera.

6. Plug in the power supply (6).

Step 3 — Mount and Position the Camera

1. Position the camera at a focal distance of one inch or more from a test object.

2. Tip the camera relative to the object to avoid the glare of direct (specular) reflection. The case parting

line should be perpendicular to the plane of the symbol by either pitching the symbol or the camera

as shown. Avoid excessive skew or pitch. Maximum skew is ±30°; maximum pitch is ±30°.

Proper lighting is critical to the success of a machine vision application. The Vision HAWK features

integrated high-output lighting (.564mW, 617nm). Depending on the requirements of your application,

you may also need to add external lighting from Microscan’s NERLITE family of machine vision light-

ing products.

Consider the following:

• Is the surface of the object flat, slightly bumpy, or very bumpy?

• Is the surface matte or shiny?

• Is the object curved or flat?

• What is the color of the object or area being inspected?

• Is the object moving or stationary?

Machine vision lighting should maximize contrast of the areas or features being inspected while

minimizing the contrast of everything else.

Camera / Object Positioning

Step 5 — Connect to the Camera

After you launch AutoVISION, you will see the Select a device to start editing a job view.

Note: If there is a default job on the camera, AutoVISION will automatically skip the Connect step and you

will see the Image view.

1. Select your camera from the Select Device dropdown menu.

2. Click the Modify button beneath the camera settings details to change camera settings.

Important: You will need to enter the camera’s default username: Microscan and password: vision.

3. Choose whether you want to create a new job, load a job (.avp) from your PC, or upload a job from

the camera.

Note: The Vision HAWK’s

default IP address is:

192.168.0.10.

Step 1 — Check Hardware

The list of hardware below can be used in a variety of applications and configurations. Consult with

Microscan for further information about which items are most appropriate for your application.

Note: Additional cordsets available in the Microscan Product Pricing Catalog.

Step 6 — Evaluate a Captured Image and Auto Calibrate

You will see the Image view after selecting your device. This view allows you to evaluate your first image

capture, providing information such as image size and a histogram. Click the Auto Calibration button to

set optimal camera parameters automatically. You can also adjust Exposure, Gain, and Focus as needed,

and set the desired Lighting Mode.

Step 7 — Create Your First Job with AutoVISION

After you have evaluated a captured image and Auto Calibrated the camera in the Image view, you will

move to the Create view. This interface allows you to set camera parameters, add machine vision tools to

captured images, set tool parameters, and configure I/O inspection outputs.

Step 8 — Explore the Interface

The Create view features a large image area with tool icons above and tool parameters below. When a tool

is selected, its parameters appear below the image area.

Tools that have been added are shown in the job list to the left of the image area, below the Camera box.

Image settings can be controlled using the icons in the corners of the image area.

Connector T on the QX-1 Interface Device is the trigger connector.

Connectors 1 and 3 are 12-pin plugs, and Connector 2 is a 12-pin socket. All three connectors can be

assigned to bus power and data as required by the application.

The two switches at the center of the device allow the user to route signals as needed.

This simple diagram (shown on the

power, communications, I/O, and

trigger signal can be routed through

the QX-1 device depending on the

needs of the application. The

switches greatly increase signal

routing flexibility.

Step 12 — Run the Job

When all job parameters are set, click on the

Run

step at the top of the interface. The software will download the

vision job just created to the camera and will begin the inspection

. Inspection results and the list of active tools

are shown at the right of the image view. That information can also be moved below the image area by

clicking the orientation buttons above the inspection results area.

Test Jobs

Note: For descriptions of more advanced functionality, such as setting Inspection Outputs or using the

Locate Tool and Decode Tool’s Dynamic Locate functionality to track multiple tools from image to image,

see the help documentation in AutoVISION software or the AutoVISION User’s Manual.

Step 9 — Set Camera Parameters

1. Click on the Camera box to the left of the image area.

2. In the camera parameters below the image area, select the desired type of Trigger, Trigger Polarity,

Photometry (Exposure and Gain), Focus, and Lighting.

Step 10 — Add Tools to the Job

1. Click on the Decode Tool or drag it onto the image area.

2. Use the anchor points at the corners of the region of interest to form a box around the Data Matrix

symbol. Leave plenty of space on each side of the symbol.

3. Now add a second Decode Tool and do the same for the 1D symbol below the Data Matrix symbol.

4. Finally, add an OCR Tool and drag the region of interest around the area of the image where “123456”

is printed.

Step 11 — Try Out the Job

Once you have configured the tools as desired, use the arrow icons in the Job area to try the job you have

just created.

Note: Most jobs will inspect multiple captured images. If only one image is being inspected, the effect of the

arrow icons will not be evident.
