### Probe Toolbox: Vision Diagnostics Tab

Probe Toolbox - Diagnostics Tab

The Vision Diagnostics tab provides a method for diagnosing problems where edge detection has failed. Diagnostics simply collects bitmap images and current feature parameters that can be exported from PC-DMIS to be sent to support personnel.

To use the Diagnostics tab:

1. Click the Diagnostics Toggle button so the button is depressed to allow for the collection of bitmap images during edge detection execution for the associated feature.

2. Execute the feature by clicking Test or during normal execution of the part program. Bitmap images are collected of the Live View for each feature target.

3. If the feature has multiple targets, click the up and down arrows to review the images that have been captured.

4. Select the Show Overlays button to include the overlay information with each of the bitmap images. If you have selected this option, images will be created with and without overlay information.

5. Click the Export Feature Diagnostics button to create bitmap images and a descriptive text file in the root PC-DMIS install directory. The bitmap images will be named using the following naming convention: <part program name>_<feature ID>_<image number>_of _<total number of feature images>_<O or no O>.bmp. For example: Vision1_CIR5_1_of_3_O.BMP. Files with an "O" at the end the file name include overlay information. The text file is exported as: <part program name>_<feature ID>.txt. For example: Vision1_CIR5_F.TXT.
