Adding a Communication Tool
Tool Navigation
-----------------------------------------------------
As shown above, the Communication tool can export results data from the first Location, Vision, Analysis, and Test tools as
follows:
•
In the sequence that the tools are selected within the Communication tool
•
In the sequence that the options are listed within the tools for export
One inspection can have more than one Communication tool.
Use one Communication tool to:
•
Export data out of one port (serial or Ethernet).
•
Export identical data out of multiple ports at the same time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use multiple Communication tools to:
•
Separate the data and export separate segments to unique external devices.
•
Customize the order of the exported data.
•
Export data from the Vision tools at different times during the inspection.
•
Customize the “Start Strings” control characters to unique external devices.
NOTE: The Test tool can have the Communication tool as one of its inputs. Therefore, if a Test tool is added after the
Communication tool, a discrete output can be activated:
a) if the TCP/IP connection is lost, or
b) if the external device fails to acknowledge it received data.
This output could contribute to an inspection Pass/Fail if it is an input to a Test tool. A Communication tool without a Test tool
will not contribute to the inspection Pass/Fail.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT Add the Communication tool AFTER the Vision tools that have data to be exported.
