Aligned Vision LaserGuide Projector |
|
Pause |
Pause the current projection. |
Resume |
Resume the current projection. |
Current |
Project the current pattern (part) file. |
Next |
Project the next pattern file in the current file’s folder. |
Previous |
Project the previous pattern file in the current file’s folder. |
Cross |
Project the field of view and center crosshair for location. |
Field Of View |
Project the field of view and center crosshair for location. |
Set Part Name [] |
Set active part PATH to that designated by [] ([] not part of string). |
Add Patterns to Existing Part |
Tell the interface to add projections from SA to the current selected part file. |
Make New Part |
Tell the interface to make a new part file, located in the current part file’s directory, but carrying the name of the first projection object in the projection from SA. |
Set Auto Align File [] |
Set the path to an alignment file, designated by [] ([] not part of string). This path will be updated in the UI, and will be used for the next Auto Alignment, whether commanded from MP, or from the Auto Align control in the UI. NOTE: The file must have the usual Aligned Vision Target File format: name, x, y, z, phi, theta, and the usual padding of 0’s at the end. This is not the same as an ascii file exported from SA, as described in the “Manual Align…” command. |
Auto Align |
Perform and Auto Alignment using the file shown in the “Align” section of the UI. |
Manual Align from Exported File [] |
Start the Manual (mouse drive) Alignment with an ASCII file exported from SA. The existing MP command, “Export ASCII Points”, can be used with all default settings, but populate ASCII File Path with the desired file path and name, the Group Name to Export, Data Delimiter of Space, Target Name Format of Target, and Desired Coordinate System of Cartesian. Then, for this command, the [] is the ASCII File Path argument from above ([] not part of string). NOTE: This command expects an ascii file of format “name x y z”, NOT a projector Target File as described in the “Set Auto Align File…” command. When this command is processed, the interface will create the AV Target File corresponding to the coordinates in the exported ascii file. The Target File will go to the same directory as the exported file, and will have the same name, but prepended with “AV_”. |
LAP Laser Projector |

Sets the active part PATH to that designated by []. |
Add Patterns to Existing Part |
Adds projections from SA to the current selected part file. |
Make New Part |
Makes a new part file, located in the current part file’s directory, but carrying the name of the first projection object in the projection from SA. |
Set Auto Align File [] |
Set the path to an alignment file, designated by [] ([] not part of string). This path will be updated in the UI, and will be used for the next Auto Alignment, whether commanded from MP, or from the Auto Align control in the UI. The file must have the usual alignment file format: name, x, y, z, phi, theta, search radius. |
Auto Align |
Perform and Auto Alignment using the file shown in the “Align” section of the UI. |
Zero Projector Transform | Sets the projector’s internal alignment (calibration) transform to Unity. |
Set Color Red |
Sets the current projection color to red. |
Set Color Green |
Sets the current projection color to green. |
Set Color Yellow |
Sets the current projection color to Yellow. |
Set Intensity Percent [] | Sets the laser intensity percentage (100 is full intensity), designated by [] ([] not part of string). |
Set Search Radius Degrees [] | Sets the alignment target search radius in degrees, designated by [] ([] not part of string). Any value greater than 2 degrees will be set to 2. Any value less than 0.1 will be set to 0.1. |
Set Search Timeout Seconds [] | Sets the alignment target search time out in seconds, designated by [] ([] not part of string). Any value greater than 10 seconds will be set to 10. Any value less than 0.25 will be set to 0.25. |
Set Filter None | Sets the Projection Filter to “NONE SET” (no filtering) |
Set Filter Angle [] | Sets the Projection Filter to “Min Angle” with the minimum angle between point triplets in degrees, designated by [] ([] not part of string). |
Set Filter Points [] | Sets the Projection Filter to Max Number, with the maximum number of points in the projection designated by [] ([] not part of string). |
Set Filter Distance [] | Sets the Projection Filter to “Min Dist.” with the minimum distance between point pairs in inches, designated by [] ([] not part of string). |
Virtek Iris Projector |
|
Pause |
Pause the current projection. |
Resume |
Resume the current projection. |
Current |
Project the selected ply in the current part. |
Next |
Project the next ply in the current part. |
Previous |
Project the previous ply in the current part. |
Cross |
Project the center cross hair for location. |
Field Of View |
Project the projector’s field of view for location. |
Select or Create Work Order [] |
Select Work Order if a folder is found which matches the name designated by [] ([] not part of string). Otherwise, create a new Work Order folder in the active Work Orders. The new Work Order will be highlighted in the interface’s Work Orders list, ready for a subsequent “Add Cal File from Exported File []” command. Also, that new Work Order will not be valid (and cannot be opened) until it contains a valid .cal file and a valid .ply file. These are requirements of Virtek’s Server Manager. NOTE: This command will fail if you have not set up a valid Work Cell in Iris. See your Virtek representative for more info regarding initial setup. |
Add Cal File from Exported File [] |
Add the .cal file to the existing selected Work Order with the points from an ASCII file exported from SA. The existing MP command, “Export ASCII Points”, can be used with all default settings, but populate ASCII File Path with the desired file path and name, the Group Name to Export, Data Delimiter of Space, Target Name Format of Target, and Desired Coordinate System of Cartesian. Then, for this command, the [] is the ASCII File Path argument from above ([] not part of string). NOTE: This command expects an ascii file of format “name x y z”, NOT a projector .cal file defined in a Work Order.When this command is processed, the interface will create a .cal file corresponding to the coordinates in the exported ascii file. The .cal file will go to the current selected Work Order, and will have the same name, but will have the extension “.cal”. This commad will fail if there is no current active Work Order. See your Virtek representative for more info regarding initial setup. Also note that until there is also a valid .ply file in the Work Order, Virtek will not allow the Work Order to be Opened. So you will need to add a .ply BEFORE you will be able to run the initial Manual Align on the .cal file in a new Work Order. |
Auto Align |
Perform and Auto Alignment. NOTE: This requires that you have defined and selected a valid Work Order, and that the work order has a valid .cal file in it. This alignment will be performed using the targets defined in that file. |
