PanelScan Integration Guide The diagram below shows how the components work together when the system is running. • PanelScan starts and in turn starts the AVP Backplane . • The AVP Backplane launches and creates the Memory Mapped Files . • When PanelScan launches, it automatically starts one instance of Basler Acquire for each camera. • During PanelScan operation: • Basler Acquire takes pictures when the camera receives a hardware trigger. • Basler Acquire puts the acquired image into the MMF. • Basler Acquire then triggers PanelScan with Virtual I/O 1 to communicate that the new picture is ready. • PanelScan captures and processes the image. • PanelScan outputs the read results to file.
Basler Acquire Software Installation and Testing Basler Acquire captures images and puts them in the shared memory file for Visionscape to read. This is a .NET program so it must be put on the system. • Create a directory called C:\PanelScan . • Create a subdirectory called C:\PanelScan\BaslerApp . • Copy the Debug folder from the BaslerAcquireInstall directory directly into the C:\PanelScan\BaslerApp subdirectory. • Perform the following steps to test the BaslerAcquire.exe installation file: • Open a command prompt. • Change the Debug directory by typing cd c:\panelscan\baslerapp\debug .
• Start the program by typing BaslerAcquire 1,SN,0,1,1 where SN is the serial number of the camera found on the camera label. The program should start automatically, but the window may be minimized. • Maximize the Basler Acquire window to verify that the software has been installed and runs correctly. If a camera is found, the user interface will show that the camera is Started and will show the Serial Number : Close the BaslerAcquire program. 34 Copyright © 2019 Omron Microscan Systems, Inc.
