Scorpion contains a tag database where all values are stored. There are
two sections of system defined values.
System Registers - note that some of the tags are read only,
writing has no effect.
|
Parameter |
Access |
Description |
| ActiveTime |
R |
time from grab command is given
and the images are received and analyzed (ms) |
| AnalyzeTime |
R |
time of toolbox execution (ms) |
| Batch |
R/W |
user defined variable |
| CameraSimulation |
R/W |
boolean state whether images is
read from camera or file. Same as Offline |
| Classification |
R |
Current classification value, from State configuration |
| CmdTime |
R |
command execution time,
approximately value since some commands may be nested and difficult to
separate (ms) |
| ComputerName |
R |
name of computer |
| Context |
R/W |
Read/Write context is a text parameter
allowing the user to switch context of the toolbox.
Default context is
empty (""), but if the user changes the textual value of the context
parameter, Scorpion loads an external toolbox from an external
configuration file. The name of the configuration file is <context>.spb.
Note that only the toolbox is
reloaded on context changes, any references to tools and tool parameters
in other subsystems within Scorpion (ie. central, curves, commands) may
cause errors if the new context don't contain referred tools/parameters. |
| CurveUpdateTime |
R |
curve update execution time
(ms), increases with the curve history length and the number of curves |
| CycleTime |
R |
total cycle time between two
inspections, mainly useful for periodically systems (ms) |
|
DataLogging |
R/W |
User controlled persistant flag suitable for data logging |
| Grabbing |
R/W |
boolean state of grabbing state, user managed only.
Note: Snapshot button is disabled when Grabbing is True.
Please observe that not releasing Grabbing will inhibit Snapshot
infinitely. |
| GrabTime |
R |
time from grab command until
image(s) received (ms) |
| HWID |
R/W |
the hardware identification, found in the
Service-General-Profile tab |
| IdleTime |
R |

ActiveTime (ms) |
|
ImageConvertTime |
R |
image convertion time between color planes during inspection (convertion
time is included in AnalyzeTime) |
| ImageDiscards |
R/W |
no of discarded incoming images while image processing |
|
ImageLogging |
R/W |
User controlled persistant flag suitable for image logging |
| ImageMode |
R/W |
boolean state of image mode |
| ImageUpdateTime |
R |
time of drawing the images and graphics. In high speed
systems graphics may be turned off to speed up update time |
| Inspecting |

boolean state of toolbox processing, system managed
Note: Inspect button is disabled when Inspecting or Grabbing is True. |
| LID |

data and image logging, GUI update |
| ModifiedProfile |
R |
returns 1 if the profile is
modified since last backup |

boolean state whether images is
read from camera or file. Same as CameraSimulation |
|
Online |
R/W |
opposite as Offline |
| OperationState |

current state, used in conjunction with OperationalState
python plugin |
| OperationStates |

Alarm state bits, System=1, Inspection=2, Curves=4,
Commands=8 |
| Recipe |
R/W |
user defined variable |
| Recipes |
R/W |
defined recipes, used in conjunction with RecipeManager
python plugin |
| Result |
R |
last inspection result.
This is
the same text as in the result panel and history list. May be localized
in multilanguage profiles |
| Running |
R/W |
boolean state whether the system
is running or not. Useful for guarding commands to
avoid commands executing while configuring/manually inspecting images |
| SaveQueue |
R |
number of image sets queued for saving. When saving
images in a separate thread this number indicates if the saving thread
is synchronized with the measuring cycle. In case of measuring cycle is
too fast, only 5 image sets may be scheduled in queue. If the queue is
