Example 1: Using the Simulator This section uses a sample file to explain the simulator. Using the Simulator with a Sample File 1. Starting the simulator 2 1 1 Select [Start simulation] from the [Simulator] menu. The simulator screen appears. The settings for the sample program (Virtual CV: sample) are selected. Start the simulator. Note • Enter the serial key when the [CV5000 simulator registry] menu appears.
2. Using the simulator Table 1 Console menu and keyboard shortcuts Console Keyboard Enter Enter Up n Down p Right o Left m Escape E or Esc FNC F TRG T Screen S View V Menu M Prog / Run P/R 1 2 Operation of the simulator through the keyboard is the same as through the CV remote console. The relationship between console buttons and keyboard keys is shown in Table 1. Note There is no keyboard key that corresponds to the button on the under side of the remote (No.

3. Differences Between the Simulator and the Actual CV-5001 Series This section introduces the unique and convenient functions of the simulator that differentiate it from the CV-5001 device. 2 1. Name input via keyboard function This function allows the computer keyboard to be used to enter names when the software keyboard is displayed (including window names, calculation names and custom screen character input). This reduces the time required to create multiple windows or calculations.
There are 8 differences between the simulator and the physical device. 1. Measurement time / trigger delay The hardware architecture of the computer and the device are different, so the same process may take a different amount of time on one than on the other. 2 2. External input/output General evaluations, terminal output, PLC- EIP - RS-232C, Ethernet, USB, and image output (except the memory card) are not functional. Output to SD2 acts as output to the Virtual CV D drive. 3.
4. The Virtual CV The simulator operating environment must be created before the simulator can be run. This environment is called the “Virtual CV” and creates a virtual CV-5001 series on the computer. Settings, including camera settings [Image folder and Image data] and drive path [select virtual C/D drive] can be set so that the simulator operates on the PC as outlined below.
5. Loading image data (from a digital camera or other digital imaging device) 1 2 Convert the image data into data that can be managed by the ‘Sample’ simulator. Use commercial image editing software to convert the image to a 512 x 480 pixel, 24 bit color image. The simulator can use the following types of image data. The ‘Sample’ program can use [Color (VGA)] images.
4 Select all of the image data to be loaded, then click the [Open] button. The data to be loaded will be displayed under [Filename [before Import]] from the [Import Test Images] menu. Also, data that has been converted into a format that is accessible by the simulator will be displayed under [Filename [after Import]]. 2 Refer to "Loading “Trigger” Image Data into the Simulator" (page 4-44) for more information on [Folder name] and [File name].
Simulation Using Programs and Image Data on an SD Card 1. Read from the simulator with the SD card (SD2) as the virtual D drive 2 The procedure for inserting the SD card (SD2) from the CV-5001 series device into the computer and using the saved data is outlined below. SD card root folder CV Setting 000 001 005 The setting file “cvset.dat” and the image file “ref 1.000bmp” are found here. Each folder has a setting folder, which is associated with one setting file.
This does not specify the setting file name, but rather specifies the drive on which the file is stored. (In this example, D) This D drive is the “SD card root folder” from step 1 and locations prefixed with "D:" are located on the D drive. The CV-5001 physical device and the simulator each have levels below the drive level known as “cv”, “setting” and “Program No. folder”. 2 Note The simulator will not use these setting files (for example, folder 000) even if they are specified.
2. Load a program file into the simulator The procedure for reading programs on the SD card to the virtual drive of the simulator is as follows: 1 2 Select [Transfer programs] from the [Simulator] menu. The [Transfer Programs] menu appears. Note This function is not available while collecting data. Suspend data collection before proceeding with the simulator. A Information about [File type] is displayed. • Read From Select [File] (program data in the drive folder within the computer).
3 Select [File Location].

7 Click the [OK] button to return to the main window. Reference Using load target and global data 2 When global data is loaded from a CV-5001 Series controller, the program no. currently being used on the simulator will be changed to the number on the controller. To set the physical controller to the same program number as the simulator, first load only the global data. Then close the [Transfer Programs] menu and load the program data and saved images. 3.
Prefix characters (Virtual CV editing) Camera number (1 through 4) _ Serial number (Specifies length: up to ten digits) 2 Example: LineA 1_00001 (Prefix: “LineA” Camera number 1 Serial number digits “5”) • The prefix can be changed freely and is shared by all cameras. • Camera number is controlled via “Connected camera settings”. • Measurements start with the initial serial value. File access will take a long time if there are too many images in a folder.
4 Click the [Browse] button, select an SD card drive, and then select an image to be read. After selecting an image, click the [Open] button. 2 5 Change name The name of the selected image files are displayed in [Filename[before import]] with serial numbers specified in the camera image file name setting. When reading the image data of multiple cameras, change the camera number and repeat reading. 6 Press the [Execute] button to read the image data.
4. Edit the program file loaded into the simulator Table 1 Console menu and keyboard controls Console Keyboard ENTER Enter Up n Down p Right o Left m ESCAPE E/ESC FNC F TRG T SCREEN S VIEW V MENU M PROG/RUN P/R 1 Use the keyboard in the same manner as the CV-5001 series console. 2 The relationship between the console buttons and the keyboard is shown in table 1.
