Page 104: Compensating For Position Offset (Position Compensation Items)
Compensating for Position Offset (Position Compensation Items) Use position compensation items if the position or orientation of the measurement object is not consistent. When you use a position compensation item, the offset between the reference position and the position of the object is calculated and the position of the measurement region is corrected before measurements are performed.
Page 105 • Features of the Position Compensation Items Edge Position Compensation The position is corrected in either the X or Y direction. The position is offset in Edge Position only one direction. Compensation: p. 111 Two-edge Position Compensation The position is corrected at the The position is offset in same time in both the X and Y two directions.
Page 106 Applying the Results of Position Compensation You can apply the results of position compensation either to the Camera image or to the previous image from before position compensation was applied. If you apply the results of position compensation to the Camera image, only the position information from position compensation is applied to the image to be measured.

Page 394: Logging Measurement Data And Image Data
7-6 Logging Measurement Data and Image Data FQ2-S1 FQ2-S2 FQ2-S3 FQ2-S4 FQ2-CH There are two ways to log data. Recent results logging: Data is temporarily saved in memory inside the Sensor. File logging: Large amounts of data are saved in SD cards or other external media. The amounts and types of data that can be logged depend on the logging method that is used, as shown in the following table.
Page 395: Logging Procedure
Logging Procedure Use the following procedure to log data. • Setting Logging Conditions Logging settings File logging: p. 394 (common settings for recent results logging and file logging) Recent results logging: p. 401 • Selecting the Measurement Data To Log p.

Touch Finder Image logging file FQ2 Sensor Data logging file SD card Saved for each Computer*1 measurement Hard disk drive *1: Image data and measurement data can be logged in the same way as for the Touch Finder by installing the PC Tool for FQ.
Page 397 Setting Logging Conditions Use the following procedures to set the conditions to log data. [In/Out] − [Log setting] • Image Data Press [Image logging]. Change the logging conditions, and then press [Back]. • Measurement Data − Press [Data logging] [Condition]. Change the logging conditions, and then press [Back].
Page 398 Selecting the Measurement Data To Log Use the following procedure to select the measurement data to log. [In/Out] − [Log setting] − [Measurement data] − [Select data] Press the measurement pre-processing, in- spection item, or calculation that has the pa- rameter to be logged.
Page 399 00001 Files are stored in the following folder when the PC Tool is used. \My Documents\OMRON FQ\SDCard "n" is a serial number that is added when images are logged at the same time. You can change the "img" at the beginning of the file name.
Page 400: File Format
File Format Image data: Image data is saved in a special format for OMRON Sensors. (The file name extension is IFZ.) Measurement data: Measurement data is saved in the following CSV format. Item Format Description Date YYYY/MM/DD This is the date that the measurement data was obtained from the Sensor.
Page 401 Changing the Format for Saving Measurement Data The output CSV file format can be changed according to the external device. (Setup Mode or Run Mode) − [TF settings] − [File format] − [Logging data file] Press [Output format]. Change the required items in the CSV format. Press [Back].
Page 402 Ensuring That All Measurement Results Are Logged in External Memory To ensure that all measurement results are actually saved, change the settings so that the BUSY signal remains ON until logging has been completed. During operation, do not input the next trigger until the BUSY signal turns OFF.
Page 403: Checking Recent Measurement Trends (Recent Results Logging)
Checking Recent Measurement Trends (Recent Results Logging) The most recent measurement results can be logged inside the Sensor. Even if data is not logged in external memory, such as an SD card, trends in measurement results can be easily checked on the Touch Finder. However, if the power supply is turned OFF, this data will be lost.
Page 404 Setting Logging Conditions Use the following procedure to set the conditions for the measurement data, image data, and statistical data that will be logged. Some of these operations and settings are the same as for file logging. Setting Logging Conditions: p. 395 Item Description Statistical data, such as the number of measurements, the number of NG overall...
