Exercise Sheet 2-5-1
Calibrating the Camera
1. In the Main Window, click on Configuration.
2. From the Configuration menu, select Setup Vision.
 The Vision Parameters dialog box opens and displays the parameters configured
for your system at installation.
3. Click on Calibrate in the Hardware segment of the dialog box.
 A Teach Window opens.
4. Click on Next to load a board, if one is not already loaded.
5. Use the Position Controls to locate a model fiducial.
6. Click on Next.
 FmNT captures an image of the fiducial and displays the image in the upper left-
hand corner of the video display window.
7. Click on Next.
 FmNT then checks the fiducial location by offsetting the camera in all four
directions along the X and Y-axes and relocating the fiducial. This ensures that the
number of pixels moved within the video display window is properly calibrated to
the number of mils the X and Y motors must move to find the same location in the
dispensing area.
 When this process is complete, an X, Y value is displayed in the Instructions area
at the top of the Teach Window. The X and Y values should be relatively equal. If
you notice a large difference between these two values, you should perform the
calibration procedure again and re-teach a new fiducial.
8. Click on Done to accept the results.
 The Teach Window closes and you return to the Vision Parameters dialog box.
9. Click on Setup Reticles to explore this option.
 A Teach Window opens.
 Reticles are overlaid lines in the video display to help define fiducials.
 As well as being helpful for defining fiducials, reticles can also be used during
programming to keep the needle close enough to the part for effective dispensing,
but far enough away to prevent part chipping.
10. Click on Help for complete details on the reticles option.
11. Click on Done when complete.
