1.1. Camera control element: Overview
The camera control element can be used to make settings for imaging
and analysis results. The element is displayed at the top left of the page.
There is a zoom and results area below the camera image.
1 The horizontal dividing bar between the camera control element and
the special functions of the camera control element can be moved, in
1 1
order to optimise the display.
To move the dividing bar, click it and drag it to the desired position.

Special functions
After the zoom button has been pressed, an image area can be selected in the camera control element which is
to be magnified. This image area is marked in the camera control element (top window) by a blue double border
rectangle. The results display (bottom window) shows the magnified image area.
The zoom can be adjusted by means of the three buttons at the bottom right next to the results display. The current
zoom factor is indicated above these buttons.
Increasing the zoom factor to get a more detailed view
Resetting the zoom to 100 % (original size)
Reducing the zoom factor to get a less detailed view

Additional display functions

The following parameters are displayed in the line below the camera image.
Parameter, example Description
R = 640 x 480 Resolution (in the example, 640 x 480 pixels)
K = G8 Colour depth
E = 200 μs Exposure time
B = 256 Intensity
C = 256 Contrast

Results display
The individual analyses may provide several re-
sults or intermediate results.

by means of the three selection buttons at the
bottom right of the set-up screen.

2. Standard functions for analyses
Standard control elements with many detailed

functions are displayed on each analysis page.
The most important function is changing the
camera analysis instances using Area, Trigger,
View and Group. These buttons can be used to
switch all parameter records. The combination of
numbers can be assigned to an identifier (in-
stance name). The change is made only using the
individual buttons. The numbers always refer to
the selected group name (Trigger, View, Group or
Area).
All analyses or areas can be activated and as-
signed to a digital output.
51-Standardfunktionen_Analysen.pdf
Trigger Rejection
If more than one trigger per pitch is set in the "Trigger and The digital output of the frame grabber is defined with this
rejection" menu, the corresponding trigger image can be parameter. It is switched to High or Low when the area of the

number of views of the same container as well as different
containers. This selector can be used to choose the view at

which the parameters will be displayed and processed.
Group
At the moment, display only. Is used by the correlator.
Area
All parameters in this element are saved only for the selected
area. The quantity depends on the configuration file.
Instance name
Designation of the current selection.
Active
The currently selected area of this analysis is evaluated if it is
turned "ON".

2.1. Analysis statistics
The camera statistics display all counter readings,

evaluation times, pre-settings and the number of
analysis errors for each configured analysis of the
selected camera station. The display is divided up
into Preview and Production, with the definitive
value always being the one from the production
column.
51-Analysenstatistik.pdf
2.2. Image manager
Image gallery function for picking camera images

(fault and/or good images) from the camera im-
age memory, loading them into the system and
inspecting these images once again. When you
are in the file mode of the camera element, you
can directly click on a thumbnail to transfer the
image into the camera field.
51-Bildmanager.pdf

2.3. Diagnostics
Results display
Display mode for optimal adjustment during
production. All results of the selected analyses are
displayed here for each image. You can also go di-
rectly to the analyses. As far as possible, the detail
view shows the results of the individual analyses
with the set threshold. If you have administrator
status, you can select the parameter screens of
the corresponding analyses.
51-Diagnose.pdf
Analysis result filter

Selection of the results display filter:
Good analyses: Displays only the results of analyses which
were identified as "good" analyses.
Fault and good analyses: All analysis results are displayed.
Fault analyses: Displays only the results of analyses which
were identified as "faults".
Layout filter
The appropriate layouts can be represented in the camera
image for each analysis or result that is displayed. They can

be selected using the selector next to the analysis result filter.
Press "All" to select all analysis results. You can also tick indi-
vidual results for a user-defined selection.
Groups / details
Groups: Only the analyses are displayed. The selected
channels are displayed to the right of the analyses.
Details: The individual results of the analyses are listed.
To the right of the analysis results, you can have displayed
the thresholds with the result values using the "Channels/
thresholds" parameter.
Channels / thresholds
The output channels ("Channels") for each analysis instance
or the results with thresholds ("Thresholds") of all analyses
are displayed.

2.4. Full-frame image
The zoomed image is displayed enlarged in the

parameter field on the right.
Use the [+] and [-] keys to zoom in our out.

3. Analyses
1 All configured analyses are displayed in this

column.

4. Basic functions
4.1. Operator interface
Basic settings of the positions of the screen di-
vider on the camera screens. Affects the scrollbar
between the parameter area and the camera
element.
51-Bedienoberflaeche.pdf

4.2. Image memory strategies
Defines which and how many images are to be

stored in the image memory.
51-Strategien.pdf
Store number of images

Defines how many images are to be stored in the camera im-
age memory.
This parameter depends on the installed main memo-
ry of the camera's CPU.
Number, display images

Defines how many images are to be displayed.
Representation
You can use the "Most recent" priority to select whether the
last "Fault", "Good" or "Good and fault" images should be
saved.
Priority
 Most recent: Last image (depending on the display)
 Closest: Only for faults with analysis results that were
detected as closest to the set thresholds.
 Clearest: Only for faults with analysis results that were
detected as furthest removed from the set thresholds.

4.3. Notes and information
This tool can be used to save information for

setting the parameters. These notes are saved
for every camera type and are reloaded when the
type is changed.
51-Notizen.pdf

5. Settings
5.1. Camera
Exposure Time [μs]

Presettable exposure time without exposure
metering.
Rotation
Tilt camera image: vertically -> horizontally.
Analog amplification
Affects internal camera parameters.
Digital amplification
Imaging mode of the camera (8 / 12 bits). With
8 bits, you can select the section from the effec-
tive 12 bits. This corresponds to amplifications of
0 / 6 / 12 / 18.
Colour
A connected colour camera is detected automati-
51-Kamera_Einstellungen.pdf cally. "OFF" is interpreted as black-and-white.
Image resolution (binning)

Combining pixels (lower resolution).
Double exposure
High image rate
Special cases.
51-Flaechenkamera.pdf

5.2. Representation
If the "Brightness control" parameter is set to

"Automatic", the brightness value measured in
the display area will be determined. This value can
be used to change the brightness of the camera
image so that the display area always appears
uniformly bright.
Display adjustments do not affect the

inspection, only the display.
To be set by service engineers only!

Distance travelled [mm], number of fine clock Trigger 1-4 [mm]

pulses [FCP] Positions of the respective triggers.
Both parameters are required to set the number of fine clock
pulses per mm. Position [mm]
Rejection position.
Containers per image
Number of containers to be analysed per image (standard: 1, Trigger dead path in fine clock pulses [mm]
with residual liquid/side wall: 2). Indicates how long the trigger P.E. sensor will be blocked after
triggering.
Number of views
Number of views to be analysed per image.
Number of triggers
Triggers per container.
Trigger to
Trigger type:
 Rising edge
 Falling edge: standard value
 Impulse centre: can inspection.
 Deactivated: for deactivating with a given type, for exam-
ple if no screw thread inspection is needed.
 Falling edge, bottle present: for rotary machines, to hide
empty pitches.
 Rising edge, bottle present: for rotary machines, to hide
empty pitches.
 Impulse centre, bottle present: for rotary machines, to
hide empty pitches.
