Locator Model reached (and Timeout is Enabled), the instances already recognized are output by the Loc- ator, and the search is stopped. Timeout can be from 1 to 30,000 milliseconds. Minimum Clearance The Minimum Clearance sets the minimum percentage of the model bounding box area that must be free of obstacles to consider an object instance as valid. To enable this property, the Enabled box must be checked. Enabling Minimum Clearance may significantly increase the search time; it is intended for use in pick-and-place applications. When enabled, Minimum Clearance also activates the computation of the Clear Quality result for each instance.
Overlap Configuration If enabled, the results of the tool will be checked to see if any instances overlap. If any instances overlap, they will be excluded from the results. Results Logging If enabled, the results of the tool will be logged to a file. If the extension of the destination file is csv, then the log is written in csv format, which opens with Excel. If a different extension is selected, the log is written in a plain text format (similar to the ACE Sight 2 format). The size of the log file can be set (default size is 5 Mb).
