For C-Mount Models Only:

1. Remove the Lens Enclosure
2. Adjust focus while monitoring the focus number. To ensure the best image, adjust the focus until the Focus Number peaks.
3. Replace the Lens Enclosure on the camera.

4.3 Configuring an Area Sensor

This section describes how to configure an Area sensor using the Demo application as a reference.

NOTE: By default, the Trigger is set to Internal, and will continuously trigger based on a time interval setting.
This may make it more difficult to make adjustments while setting up the sensor. The best practice is as fol-
lows:

• Go to the Main Menu > Imager > Trigger menu and select External.

 

 

• Make sure there is no external trigger input.
• Use the Trigger icon in the lower-right of the screen to manually trigger the sensor to capture an image as

you set up and test.

• Capture images of a range of samples to set up from the "worst" good part to the "best" bad part.

Start the setup with a good part. Normally, each part to be tested will be centered in the Field of View (FOV).

1. Adjust the Region of Interest (ROI).The ROI is a blue-dotted box as shown below.
