CHAPTER 7. COIN CALIPER II

13.

Step 13: Edit Scheduler State

23

– Edit the

(qsm) schedule

state to create

the necessary tasks.

14.

Step 14: Set Up Camera

24

– Coin Caliper II demo Step 14/15: Set up the

camera mode (resolution) and attributes.

15.

Step 15: Run and Debug

25

– Coin Caliper II demo Step 15/15: Run and

debug the application until it works properly.

Congratulations! You have now implemented your first machine vision ap-

plication using the “Machine Vision App” template project, and you are now
prepared to move on to more advanced projects.
