Microscan MicroHAWK MV-20 User manual

Step 4 — Install AutoVISION
AutoVISION can also be installed from the Download Center at www.microscan.com and can also be
found on the Microscan Tools Drive that is packaged with the camera.
1. Follow the prompts to install AutoVISION from the Tools Drive.
2. Click on the AutoVISION icon to run the program.
Minimum System Requirements
• Intel Core i3 Processor @ 1.6 GHz
• Internet Explorer 11 or higher / Google Chrome
• 2GB RAM (Windows 7 SP1 / Windows 7 Embedded Standard SP1)
• 3GB hard drive space
• 32-bit color display, 1366 x 768
• 4.0 Windows Experience Index (particularly for graphics)
• 1 USB 2.0 port and 1 Network port
Step 3 — Mount and Position the Camera
1. Position the camera at a focal distance of one inch or more from a test object.
2. Tip the camera relative to the object to avoid the glare of direct (specular) reflection. The case parting
line should be perpendicular to the plane of the symbol by either pitching the symbol or the camera.
Avoid excessive skew or pitch. Maximum skew is ±30°; maximum pitch is ±30°.
Proper lighting is critical to the success of a machine vision application. Depending on the requirements
of your application, you may need to add external lighting from Microscan’s NERLITE family of machine
vision lighting products.
Consider the following:
• Is the surface of the object flat, slightly bumpy, or very bumpy?
• Is the surface matte or shiny?
• Is the object curved or flat?
• What is the color of the object or area being inspected?
• Is the object moving or stationary?
Machine vision lighting should maximize contrast of the areas or features being inspected while
minimizing the contrast of everything else.
Step 5 — Connect to the Camera
After you launch AutoVISION, you will see the Select a device to start editing a job view.
Note: If there is a default job on the camera, AutoVISION will automatically skip the Connect step and you
will see the Image view.
1. Select your camera from the Select Device dropdown menu.
2. Click the Modify button beneath the camera settings details to change camera settings.
3. Choose whether you want to create a new job, load a job (.avp), or upload a job from the camera.
Note: If you are using an MV-20 or MV-30 with a USB cable, the driver has already configured your
PC address. If you are using an MV-40, you must set the PC to the same IP range as the default IP
address. Default IP address: 192.168.188.2 . Set the PC to the same IP range (example: 192.168.188.100 ).
Step 6 — Evaluate a Captured Image and Auto Calibrate
You will see the Image view after selecting your device. This view allows you to evaluate your first image
capture, providing information such as image size and a histogram. Click the Auto Calibration button to
set optimal camera parameters automatically. You can also adjust Exposure, Gain, and Focus as needed,
and set the desired Lighting Mode.
Step 7 — Create Your First Job with AutoVISION
After you have evaluated a captured image and Auto Calibrated the camera in the Image view, you will
move to the Edit view. This interface allows you to set camera parameters, add machine vision tools to
captured images, set tool parameters, and configure I/O inspection outputs.
Step 8 — Explore the Interface
The Edit view features a large image area with tool icons above and tool parameters below or to the right
depending on user preference. When a tool is selected, its specific parameters appear.
Tools that have been added are shown in the job list to the left of the image area, below Camera.
Image settings can be controlled using the icons in the corners of the image area.
Note: A Color Tool is also
available, but is not shown in
these images. The Color
Tool proves Color ID and
Color Match functionality.

Note: There are two USB connection options – one is BUS-powered
and the other is externally powered. BUS-powered cable delivers
reduced illumination – approximately 30% less brightness.

Step 12 — Run the Job
When all job parameters are set, click on the Run step at the top of the interface. The software will download the
vision job just created to the camera and will begin the inspection
. Inspection results and the list of active tools
are shown at the right of the image view. That information can also be moved below the image area by
clicking the orientation buttons above the inspection results area.
Test Jobs
Note: For descriptions of more advanced functionality, such as setting Inspection Outputs or using the
Locate Tool and Decode Tool’s Dynamic Locate functionality to track multiple tools from image to image,
see the help documentation in AutoVISION software.

at right.
Step 9 — Set Camera Parameters
1. Click on the Camera box to the left of the image area.
2. In the camera parameters below the image area, select the desired type of Trigger, Trigger Polarity,
Photometry (Exposure and Gain), Focus, and Lighting.
Step 10 — Add Tools to the Job
1. Click on the Decode Tool or drag it onto the image area.
2. Use the anchor points at the corners of the region of interest to form a box around the Data Matrix
symbol. Leave plenty of space on each side of the symbol.
3. Now add a second Decode Tool and do the same for the 1D symbol below the Data Matrix symbol.
4. Finally, add an OCR Tool and drag the region of interest around the area of the image where “123456”
is printed.
Step 11 — Try Out the Job
Once you have configured the tools as desired, use the arrow icons in the Job area to try the job you have
just created.
Note: Most jobs will inspect multiple captured images. If only one image is being inspected, the effect of the
arrow icons will not be evident.
