of the parameters describing the results of inspected images or device information will be
sent. For details on which tags can be used in binary output see the tables in chapter Ap-
pendix A, “Result output formatting” (page 39).
4.2.3 Attributes
Attributes are used to control the formatting and identification of inspections. Some of them
can be controlled directly in the Ethernet Result Output dialog in the section Message settings. All
available attributes are listed in the table in section XML Formatting in Section A.3.2, “Attrib-
utes” (page 49).
Min number of digits Specifies the minimum number of digits (including decimal
point) to include in the result. If the value to be sent out has
fewer digits, the result is padded with leading zeros. The de-
fault setting is 0 which means the number of digits that will
be sent will differ depending on how many digits are needed.
The maximum number of digits is 9. Note: This attribute is
only applicable for ASCII
Number of decimals Specifies the number of digits to include after the decimal
point for values with decimals. The value will be rounded to
the specified number of decimals. Default value is 2. The
maximum number of decimals is 9. Note: This attribute is only
applicable for ASCII
Degrees/Radians Specifies the unit for the rotation of the object locator, angle
for blobs, angle for edges, and angle measurements.
Little/Big Endian This specifies the order of the bytes transferred from the
device on Ethernet. When using Little endian the least signi-
ficant byte is transferred first and for Big endian the most
significant byte is transferred first. See the 2-byte example in
tables below. Note: Only applicable when using binary format.

Pixels/Millimeters Specifies whether position coordinates and distance meas-
urements should be expressed in pixels or millimeters. Note:
The device must be calibrated to be able to use millimeters
as unit of measurement.
4.2.4 Example formatting strings
The auto-generated example string will vary depending on the configuration in the selected
reference object. The intention with the example string is to give an idea of the available tags
and to be a good starting point for creating a suitable format.
Below follow some short descriptions of example strings for different configurations. For more
information about the XML formatting see Appendix A, “Result output formatting” (page 39).
