Current Help System: PC-DMIS Vision (View Core Help)

## Available Vision Setup Options

In addition to setting your machine options, there are some vision-specific software options you can set using the Setup Options dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Setup). The following check boxes used with vision machines appear in the General tab:

Suppress Vision Load Probe Dialogs

This setting affects vision multi-sensor machines. It helps to minimize load probe messages for the vision probe by suppressing the Probe Utilities dialog box when creating a part program and inserting the last active vision probe. It only does this if the following conditions are met:

- The Vision option must be is enabled on your portlock.

- The type of vision system you use is something other than a CMMV.

- The last loaded probe was a vision probe.

Note: PC-DMIS stores the last used vision probe name in the LastProbeFileMultisensor entry located under the Option section of the PC-DMIS Settings Editor.

Focus Along Camera Vector

The default mode for feature-based focus operations is to use the camera vector and not the feature normal vector. If you want to use the feature normal vector, you need to clear this check box. This setting is valid for the current part program.

Auto Edge Strength

This determines whether or not PC-DMIS updates the edge strength based on teaching results. The default behavior is to automatically check the edge strength at teach time and update it accordingly. If you clear this check box, then the edge strength will remain unchanged before and after teaching takes place.
