Stage Data This processing item sets and retains data that is related to 
a stage.
Enter the data based on the specifications of the stage to 
use.
Robot Data This processing item sets and retains data that is related to 
the robot.
Enter the data based on the specifications of the robot to

items
Vision Master 
Calibration
This processing item is specifically for the calibration of the 
Camera coordinates and external device coordinates.
This processing item automatically calculates all axis 
movements of the external device that are required for cali-
bration. This allows the calibration process to be carried 
out with greater ease and precision.
PLC Master 
Calibration
This processing item is specifically for the calibration of the 
Camera coordinates and external device coordinates.
This processing item allows you to freely set the axis move-
ment of the external device that is required for calibration.

Calibration Data 
Reference
This processing item is used to reference calibration data 
and distortion data that is stored in other processing items.
The referenced data is used to perform coordinate conver-
sion processing and distortion correction on the measure-
ment results that follow this processing item.
Alignment cal-
culations
Calc Axis Move This processing item calculates all axis movements of the 
external device that are required to match the measured 
position and angle to the reference position and angle.
Calc Axis Move 
by Multipoint
This processing item calculates all axis movements of the 
external device that are required to match the measured 
position to the reference position.
You can set up to eight points each for the measured posi-
tion and reference position.
Transfer Posi-
tion Data
This processing item calculates the position data and angle 
data after each axis of the external device is moved by a 
required amount. Use this processing item when you want 
to move the stage by a required amount, and then perform 
a measurement to obtain the position data and angle data 
before the stage was moved.
Position Data 
Calculation
This processing item uses the measurement results from 
more than one processing item to calculate the position 
data and angle data to be used in a Calc Axis Move pro-
cessing item.

Scrolling Machine Simu-
lator
This processing item allows you to see how the alignment 
marks move on the image while each axes of the external 
device is being controlled. You can use it to verify the oper-
ation of the alignment processing items even if the actual 
stage or robot is not available.
