Tell us your PC-DMIS Vision Enhancement Suggestions

Although a similar thread exists on the main PC-DMIS forum, I thought it would be useful to get some vision specific feedback.

Internally, we have around 200 ideas for Vision improvements, some radical and big, some smaller but still of benefit. In order to help prioritize/schedule them, it would be good to find out which are perceived to be the most important to the most people.

Some questions to get you thinking :-

What can't you do that you want?
What would make programming easier?
What Auto Features would you like available for a Video Probe?
What wonderful new enhancement idea would you like to see?
How important is blob analysis?
How important is OCR?
More filtering needed?
Could Screen Captures be improved?
Are diagnostics tools sufficient?
Is AutoTune useful and how could it be improved?
Should we try to optimize measurement speed?
Do we give too much control over focus measurement (i.e. do we make it too easy to get the wrong result by going too fast)?

Thanks in advance for your input.

  • Automatically distribute multiple targets accross a circle

    Hi

    We are just starting to use PC-DMIS.

    During our learning, we had a part which has an inner circle with cuts in it Similar to a gear.

    To measure it, we have to define a auto circle and then divide it in a big number of targets, twice as much as the gear has tooths, to only measure the sections, where the circle actually exists.

    It would be great if we could specify the first section and then tell PC-DMIS in what angle steps it has to repeat this section.

    This could be done using some kind of an assistant to create the targets.

    An other solution would be to measure a circle segment in a loop and then use the circle feature array to compute the circle (maybe this is possible already, if so, please explain how to do it?).

    Also I was looking to find the target specification in the PC-DMIS command mode and couldn't see where the definitions for the targets are.

    Regards,
