Create New Function
In the drop-list under Manage Execution Order, there are predefined functions:
• Solution Initialize – executes only once, right after a Solution loads.
• Pre Image Process – executes after an image acquire, and before processing.
• Post Image Process – executes after inspection but before a decision output.
You can also create different types of new functions. Click the “New” button beside the Function
drop-list under Manage Execution Order, to open the New Function window.
• Periodic – executes at fixed time interval.
• User Defined – executes when called by another function or statement. Allows you to pass 1, 2
or 3 parameters. You cannot rename the parameters.
• Delayed Event – executes a fixed interval after: (a) image is acquired or (b) end of processing.
• PLC Variable Change of State – executes when a selected PLC variable (or register) changes
state. This option is available only with a Modbus Slave PLC, or Ethernet-IP PLC (because the
BOA Vision System stores the variables for these two configurations).
• Input State Change – executes when a GPI changes.
Add New Function
When finished defining a function, click “Add” to add your function to the drop-list.
The “Del” button beside “New” will delete your function and all the statements it contains.
