Limit object Size If No Focus Data
Click check-box to reveal more parameters, which limit possible parcel sizes if Focus Data is
NOT available.
Minimum Across Belt Position for Image Saving (left value)
Maximum Across Belt Position for Image Saving (right value)
Normally, for a side read camera, parcels are assumed to be in the range from the ‘right side’
of the conveyor (maximum conveyor width) to the left side (0 position). These parameters
allow a tighter range to be specified. For a right side camera, perhaps the minimum package
width is actually 6 inches, then the “Minimum position” can be changed to 6” (152mm),
instead of 0”. Likewise, the “Maximum position” can be used to adjust the right side limit used
for image saving.
Maximum Object Height for Image Saving
Parcels are assumed to have a height of specified value.
Image Name
These options relate to the image file naming conventions.
Image Specific String
Enter a string to be assigned to all camera image file names.
Camera n Specific String
Enter a string to be included identifying the specific camera name (example: top).
Number of Items in Filename
This identifies how many fields are used for the file name
Select a number from 1 to 16 from the drop-down list. With an area camera there may be a
large number of images during each trigger cycle. It may be necessary to limit the number of
images saved. The Frame Save Criterion allow for the limiting of number of frames saved.
NOTE: Any characters in the image file name that are not allowed in Linux
or Windows will be replaced with an underscore (_). Characters that can be
considered safe for both operating systems include alphanumeric values,
dash (-), period (.), and underscore (_).
