"Common" cable (3). Then connect the "Common" cable to "2" on the QX-1.
5. Connect the Smart Series cable (8 or 9) to your choice of Smart Series light and to "1" on the QX-1.
6. Plug in the power supply.
Step 3 — Mount and Position the Camera
Position the camera at a standoff of 150 mm or more from the part.
Proper lighting is critical to the success of a machine vision application.
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.

octets in decimal of the device MAC Address with subnet Class B 255.255.0.0. Set your PC to the
same subnet (192.168.0.1, for example).
To access the camera's "health status", enter the address http://[your camera name]:8088 in a
browser, where [your camera name] is the name of the device – HAWK3204E8, for example.
Note: C-mount set screws can

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.
