Vision Tools Calculation Tools Calculation Tools let you calculate various geometric features based on the results of other tools. For instance, given the edges of a square part, you can calculate the center of the part. Calculated Frames are used to create a vision frame from other features, allowing you to place vision tools on objects that are not always in the same location or orientation. Calculated Point The Calculated Point tool generates a point based on input from other tools. See "Calculated Point". Calculated Line The Calculated Line tool generates a line based on input from other tools. See "Calculated Line".
Calculated Arc The Calculated Arc tool generates a circle based on input from other tools. See "Calculated Arc". Calculated Frame The Calculated Frame tool generates a frame based on input from other tools. See "Calculated Frame". Other Tools Custom Vision Tool The Custom Vision tool allows you to specify a program that will be called when the tool is executed. From within a Custom Vision tool, other tools can be executed, and return a set of results, which are used as the output of the tool. See "Custom Vision Tool". Remote Vision Tool The Remote Vision tool lets an application, such as an ACE PackXpert packaging application, run a vision tool on a remote PC.
Because image processing is computationally intense, this can offload a sig- nificant portion of the processing load from the main ACE PC to a remote PC. See "Remote Vision Tool". ACEUser's Guide, 3.6.x, 18316-000 Rev A Page 348
