When running in normal operation mode, the following information is available:

• Description – Web page that contains a short description of the inspection task and buttons for operating the system
• History – displays the latest inspection results
• Curves – give a graphical view of measured values
• Results – show measured values of the latest inspection
• Statistics – give a periodical view of the inspection results
• Camera image(s)
• Inspection result with indicator panels

  Additionally you can start and stop the system.

The screen picture under normal operation is shown above. The picture can roughly be divided in the following parts:

1.       Main buttons (upper row, below the main window title).

•     Press the Start main button and Scorpion is running.

• Press the Stop button to stop Scorpion

• Start - starts automatic inspections
• Stop - terminates automatic inspections
• Setup - will activate/close Service / Settings configuration modes
• Save - saves the profile
• Snapshot - takes an image
• Inspect - performs an Inspection
• Help - activates Scorpion Help
• Close - terminates the Scorpion application

2.       Image (left, below the main buttons). The camera images of the unit to be identified are shown here. Selecting and dragging the image can zoom in details. A simple click zooms back. You can choose to see one or all images at a time in systems using more than one image for classification. See the ‘Camera image processing’ chapter for a description of available camera image features. More on Image Operations

3.       Inspection Results (lower left) shows the running inspection results. The classification result is shown in text – we call it the state. Additionally you can display one or more result parameters in this field. (In the above example given by the ‘Distance’ parameter.) Right click the mouse over the field, and you see the menu to choose from. You need however to be authorized to change the result panel set-up. Normal conditions are usually indicated by a green background colour, other conditions by for instance yellow or red. You set the colour under Service-States.

4.       The Indicator panel is showing selected measured values calculated by Scorpion’s logical tools. The inspection result is based on these values. On error, the representing indicator panel field changes colour to e.g. red to illustrate the cause of the error. If you are authorized, you can change the value to be shown as well as the title and colour of the indicator panel fields. Press the right mouse button over the field and select from the menu showing up. You can also extend the panel by adding more fields or remove fields from the panel.

5.       Detailed panels (right), here you can chose different detailed information: history, curves, results or statistics.

6.       Status bar (bottom line) shows different indicators of the system status. From left to right:

•  Image trigger - status for ready signal from the production line

•  Status for manual code signal from the production line

• Status for reset signal from the production line

• Status for quality alarm

• Row/column coordinates, pixel value and name of graphical image components. The values change when moving the mouse within an image.

• Date and time
