### Vision Stage Calibration Dialog Box Options

Vision Stage Calibration dialog box

Setup Parameters: Provides an overview of the parameters that will be used during the Stage Calibration. Click Setup to make changes to these parameters.

Axis: The stage axis being calibrated.

Factor: The compensation factor being calibrated.

Method: Method is how the Factor will be compensated. For example linear calibration can be done using a Linear or Segmented Linear method.

- Linear will use a single error compensation factor for the entire travel of the stage. This is normally used on stages which do not have repeatable home positions.

- Segmented Linear will use a different compensation factor for each segment or zone of the axis travel and needs a repeatable machine position initialization.

Mode: The current processing mode, either Calibrate or Verify. During Calibrate the data is being collected. During Verify the error correction is being applied.

Desired Runs: The number of runs that are planned to take place.

Run: Displays the active run.

Max Error: Displays the maximum error.

Max Error (Corrected): Provides an estimate of the maximum error with the current best correction factor applied.

Position Area

Zero: Sets the relative position to zero. It can be useful to move to the zero position on the standard and zero out the position display. This way the Relative position display will very closely match your standard during processing.

Absolute/Relative: This toggle button indicates the current position display mode. The current position display value is indicated by the button label.

XYZ values: Displays the current stage position.

Stage Calibration Control Buttons

Start Run: Begins the data collection sequence as defined by the axis, factor, method, and mode.

Abort Run: Stops the current data collection run.

Finish Run: Completes the current data collection run. If a run has already been executed for this axis, the data completion processing will happen automatically on subsequent runs when the data count has been repeated.

Delete Run: Deletes the run as specified by the axis, factor, method, mode, and run.

Delete Point: Deletes the last point of the current data collection run.

Record Point: Takes the standard value entered, records the stage position, and adds this to the data collection.

OK: Signals that the calibration sequence has been completed and that the calibration data should be applied in PC-DMIS.

Cancel: Cancels the calibration session. If you cancel and restart the stage calibration sequence, the utility will try to resume where you left off last. The data collection, settings, etc will be restored to when you last cancelled out of the utility.

Setup: Opens the Stage Calibration Setup dialog box.

Data List Box: Shows the Standard value, Uncorrected Position value, and Variance value for the current data collection. As you change the axis, factor, method, mode, and run, the display will show the corresponding data collection.
