Location Tools - Circle

The Circle Location Tool is used to locate a circular feature that fall within the specified parameters.

The Circle Location Tool is one of the faster tools, with the ability to recognize edge features much quicker than a Patterns Location Tool. These tools are also useful as fixtures for other vision tools, when you are inspecting circular objects or a part or object that does not rotate.

The tool reports the following results:

In-Sight Models	Results
In-Sight 2000 Series 1XX Vision Sensors (110, 120, 130)	Pass/Fail status only
In-Sight Vision Systems (All Models) and In-Sight 2000 Series 23X Vision Sensors (23M, 230)	Found circle’s X,Y coordinates (its center), diameter* and pass/fail status.
* The tool returns the results in pixels, unless the image was calibrated to real-world units (In-Sight vision systems) or Field of View (Width) was set to real-world units (In-Sight 2000 series vision sensors) in the Set Up Image application step.
