IMPACT's drag-and-drop configuration requires no programming language knowledge. The IMPACT programming design interface now features setups that guide inspection creators-even those with minimal or no machine vision programming experience-through creating powerful, accurate inspections. This is complemented by the IMPACT Software Suite's signature program Control Panel Manager (CPM), a tool that enables machine vision programmers to create a customized GUI for operators that mirrors the machine environment with which they are familiar. CPM is a powerful vehicle to create the simplicity, security, visibility and real-time editing and control ideal for factory operator interfaces. A single CPM control panel can be used to operate numerous IMPACT cameras.
IMPACT software includes a free emulator for training, testing and tweaking inspections offline. Download a free copy of the IMPACT 9.0 Software Suite at www.pptvision.com, or call 952-996-9500.
