Setting Up the Robot Guidance Tool

Tip: After constructing the calibration, it is recommended that you save the job file. For subsequent calibrations, you can simply load the calibration job, acquire the image and then auto export the updated calibration file to all of the jobs that reference this calibration file.

Once the tool has been added, you will need to define the input features (points, the origins of fixtures or the center of circular features) that will be used to construct the calibration:

  1. After adding the tool, EasyBuilder will examine your image and give you a selection of Smart Features (points, the origins of fixtures or the center of circular features) that it has automatically detected (highlighted in cyan), as well as any features that you have previously defined with another tool (highlighted in green). EasyBuilder will automatically insert a Circle Presence/Absence Tool for any circular features that were not previously defined.

  2. Select one of the features from the available features by clicking on it, at which point its color will change to magenta.

  3. After selecting all the feature, press the OK button (press the Cancel button to not add the tool to the job).

  4. Save the job file.
  5. With the tool initially configured, adjust the tool's parameters, as needed.
  6. Finally, if desired, use the tool's Input/Output properties to share tool data between other tools and/or other external devices.
