Absolute and Relative Tools
An absolute tool’s Region of Interest (ROI) does not move in the image window. A relative tool shifts the ROI
from the previous tool, relative to the position of the part.
The Location tools (for example, Locate) track parts in the Image window, and the Vision tools that follow (for
example, Average Gray Scale and Blob Detect) are relative. A Vision tool that precedes all Location tools will
be absolute. Rules governing whether a tool is absolute or relative are as follows:
• The first Location tool is always absolute.
• All tools following a Location tool are relative to that tool unless they are made absolute themselves, in which
case the chain is broken, and a new chain is started.
• For a Vision tool to be absolute, it must be placed before any Location tools.
Navigation/Results Toolbar Buttons
Using the Navigation/Results toolbar buttons, the Navigation/Results window size can be set, and tools can
be deleted.
