Using tools
The Quality Inspection toolset contains a selection of software tools for image analysis,
result output, and communication. A help text for each tool is accessible directly from
the GUI. The tools are also listed and described in the Nova 2D Operating Instructions,
art no 8025687.
The Quality Inspection toolset is based on SICK Nova, which allows the user to create
and import additional tools. For a description of how to import a tool through SICK
AppManager, see the Nova 2D Operating Instructions. Information on SICK Nova tool
development is available from the SICK Support Portal, supportportal.sick.com.
