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.

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.
