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 |
| GrabTime |
R |
time from grab command until
image(s) received (ms) |
| AnalyzeTime |
R |
time of toolbox execution (ms) |
| ManagementTime |
R |
inspection management overhead time (ms), GUI update |
| CmdTime |
R |
command execution time,
approximately value since some commands may be nested and difficult to
separate (ms) |
| 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) |
| ActiveTime |
R |
time from grab command is given
and the images are received and analyzed (ms) |
| IdleTime |
R |
IdleTime = CycleTime -
ActiveTime (ms) |
| ImageUpdateTime |
R |
time of drawing the images and graphics. In high speed
systems graphics may be turned off to speed up update time |
| 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
full this the SaveQueue equals -1. |
| Running |
R/W |
boolean state whether the system
is running or not. Start is pressed. Useful for guarding commands to
avoid commands executing while configuring/manually inspecting images |
| 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. |
| Inspecting |
R |
boolean state of toolbox processing, system managed
Note: Inspect button is disabled when Inspecting or Grabbing is True. |
| CameraSimulation |
R/W |
boolean state whether images is
read from camera or file |
| TargetComputer |
R/W |
boolean state of current computer, Target or Maintenance |
| LiveVideo |
R/W |
boolean status of live video flag |
| ImageMode |
R/W |
boolean state of image mode |
| Settings |
R |
boolean state is settings enabled |
| Service |
R |
boolean state is service enabled |
| ModifiedProfile |
R |
returns 1 if the profile is
modified since last backup |
| QAlarm |
R |
Alarm state bits, System=1, Inspection=2, Curves=4,
Commands=8 |
| Profile |
R |
the full path of current profile |
| SystemName |
R/W |
the system name, name of mainform caption, found in the Service-General-Profile
tab |
| SystemShortName |
R/W |
the system short name, name of the taskbar button, found
in the Service-General-Profile tab |
| ProfileVersion |
R |
current profile version (text) |
| Version |
R |
current Scorpion version as
string (ex. 8.2.0.462) |
| ScorpionDir |
R |
the full path of the running Scorpion.exe |
| ComputerName |
R |
name of computer |
| HWID |
R/W |
the hardware identification, found in the
Service-General-Profile tab |
| LID |
R/W |
language ID, used for profile localization. Each
language has a predefined integer number. Found in the
Service-General-Profile tab |
| 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. |
| Classification |
R |
Current classification value, from State configuration |
| State |
R |
last inspection state |
| Result |
R |
last inspection result.
This is
the same text as in the result panel and history list. May be localized
in multilanguage profiles |
| ImageDiscards |
R/W |
no of discarded incoming images while image processing |
| Batch |
R/W |
user defined variable |
| Recipe |
R/W |
user defined variable |
| UserName |
R/W |
current logged on user, used in conjunction with the
UserManager python plugin |
| OperationState |
R/W |
current state, used in conjunction with OperationalState
python plugin |
| Usernames |
R/W |
defined users, used in conjunction with the UserManager
python plugin |
| OperationStates |
R/W |
defined states, used in conjunction with
OperationalState python plugin |
| Recipes |

python plugin |
| MemoryAllocated |
R |
total allocated internal memory
for the application |
| VirtualMemory |
R |
