User Manager - All screens can be setup for full, partial or minimal access rights when logged in with the proper credentials.
Job Manager - This window allows for organization of multiple jobs. Folders can be created, named, exported or imported from project to project. Here folder and camera icons provide a quick view to the job image source.
Job Settings Wizard - When users create a new job, they simply need to enter the name, the template type and the image source and whether it comes from a camera (setup in the camera manger) or from a file folder.
IP Configuration - Each vision system PC will have a different amount of ethernet ports for cameras and communications. The software automatically will interrogate the PC which is operating the software and list all of the available ports, all in one location, making it very simple and easy for all IP addresses to be set directly from the Simple Vision Engineering Suite software, without going into Windows settings.
Camera Manager - Real physically connected cameras must be associated to a camera name. This camera name is referenced throughout the software interface. Simple color coding of the camera will visually inform the user if the connected camera is good - green or if it is disconnected - red in color. No IP Address setting is necessary, just plug in the camera and assign a name.
PLC Comms - Setting the connection to the main controller and assigning the communication tags is done directly in this screen. Color coding provides a quick visual for the user to know whether or not the tag has a good connection - green. The list of tags is easily exported and imported directly from this screen so easy copy and paste for multiple jobs can be done with very little effort and very little typing, which speeds up system deployment and integration.
Output - Keeping track of every single parameter change or changes that are made to the system get captured in a rolling log book that is simple to use. Export the list of changes, use the search window to find specific changes or to search key words. The time stamp, sorting by multiple message types and identifying the user that made the changes will allow for information tracking.
Multiview - All of the screen layouts are configurable and can be configured by individual users or customers. The software allows for multiple jobs to run simultaneously. With Multiview it is possible to configure which jobs are displayed for the user interface. No code is necessary, just select the jobs that will be displayed and move them around for easy viewing.
Data Logging - Each image after being processed can automatically be saved to a specified folder for review or ease of organization. Image graphics can also be saved with images or the user can select to save just the raw image.
