 Application Corner
 VPM Version 7.1 Setup Panels

In this issue of Partners E-News, we are featuring an application video that uses Setup Panels to demonstrate the results of the VPM ease-of-use initiative that is available in IMPACT Software Suite Version 7.1. This application example demonstrates the steps used to create a vision program to inspect carrier tapes that are used in the electronics industry. The application requires the vision system to perform gauging and gross defect inspections. The video demonstrates how a complete inspection program can be configured in just a few short steps. The new Setup Panels allow users to create vision programs without the need to access the tool properties tabs. Setup Panels are currently available in 23 tools, including Origin, Line Gauge, Contour Pattern Find, Blob, Morphology and Color Checker. More Setup Panels will be implemented in IMPACT Software Suite Version 7.2, along with other features and enhancements that will continue our software ease-of-use initiative.
