Congratulations on your choice of VisionMaster™, the most advanced measurement system in its class. VisionMaster is capable of making precise, 3-D measurements quickly and easily. To achieve high-resolution 3-D measurements, VisionMaster uses sophisticated, proprietary image processing algorithms and a structured white light scheme. Height points are computed for every pixel in the field of view (FOV). The FOV consists of 640x480 (307,200) pixels. This gives you, the user, a complete high-resolution 3-D profile of an object measured using VisionMaster.
An easy-to-use software interface is provided on the PC included with the VisionMaster system. The hardware has a functional and maintenance-free layout. The system platform and the sensor are made of high strength aluminum. The light source is an independent unit and is also of rugged industrial design. The system derives its power from the PC. As part of ASC International’s one-year end-user warranty, all software updates and releases are provided to VisionMaster owners free of charge for the warranty period. Software can be downloaded from the following web site or can be requested by calling the number printed on the front page of this user guide: www.ascinternational.com.
This document will walk you through the setup and operation of VisionMaster. It will also describe the terminology used in the software and the methods used to compute different measurements. This user guide assumes you are familiar with basic PC operation and using Microsoft® Windows™ XP operating system.
