2 Select the camera to be calibrated at the bottom of the screen under Active
camera (this setting is only available if there are several cameras installed).
Then place the plate underneath the camera so that the point with coordinates
x=0, y=0 appears at the bottom left corner of the image. The image also
shows a small coordinate system that illustrates how the calibration plate
should be orientated.
3 Make sure that the dots fill the whole image and go as far out to the edges
as possible. No dots may be only partially visible in the field of view. If it is
not possible to adjust the plate so that no partial dots are seen, the partially
visible row must be covered.
4 Under Camera Settings, adjust Brightness, Contrast and Gain to create as
sharp a contrast as possible between the dots and the background.
5 Adjust the number of columns (vertical) under No. of columns and the number
of rows (horizontal) under No. of rows. Click Suggest if you want the system
to display suggested values for the number of visible rows and columns.
6 Enter the spacing between each dot. On the standard calibration plate, these
values are printed on the plate. If the spacing is not known it must be
measured. FlexLoader Vision cannot give suggestions for the current row
or column spacings.
7 To start the calibration, click Calibrate.
