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.

  • Hi Herbert,

    We are planning an enhancement for V4.3 that would be perfect for the gear section problem.

    Another way to do it currently, would be to use the paste with offset. Create a circle that measures one of the teeth. Then, define a pattern that rotates around the centre of the circle at the specified angle increments. Then copy the feature and select paste with pattern.

    It depends on which version you're using as to where the target values are. Also note that some parameters (specifically the relative position of the targets around the nominal form) are not shown in the editor, however the parameters for how to measure each of these targets (illumination, edge detection params, etc) are in there. In V4.2 you need to expand the SHOW_VISION_PARAMETERS section. There is a similar term to expand in V41 and prior versions.
