Free vision software reads most difficult codes
Duluth, GA, March 26, 2004 –DVT Corporation has announced the availability of FrameWork 2.7, the newest release of its free Windows-based machine vision software. Framework software is compatible with all Legend series machine vision systems and is backward compatible with older DVT systems, as well. FrameWork 2.7 features highly enhanced reader capabilities that take advantage of the new Texas Instruments DSP processor which is standard in the DVT 550 series of Legend SmartImage sensors.
“FrameWork 2.7 contains features that make it more intelligent and more robust than previous versions of vision software,” commented Steve Gieseking, Director of Research & Development. “The improved reader capabilities include the ability to successfully read significantly degraded or poorly marked codes that may be found on metal parts using pin stamping.”Mike Schreiber, DVT Director of Applied Engineering, noted “FrameWork 2.7, combined with our 550 sensor products, gives our customers a new level of machine vision power that will make a substantial difference in many applications.
It also positions us as a leader in speed due to the scalability of the TI processor.”A move toward gradient pixel base threshold in FrameWork 2.7 has enabled more intelligence in the software in compensating for low-light levels and for variances of light in specific applications. This gives the software the ability to predict missing 2-D code, thus reading incomplete and damaged code.
The FrameWork 2.7 reader is a trainable reader—from reading good code it can learn to make needed compensations to read bad code.With Framework 2.7, both the Intelligent Scanner XS and IS can read an expanded list of barcodes including all seven RSS codes, USS 128 Composite, UPC/EAN Composite, Planet Code, Micro PDF and PDF truncated. Additional reader improvements also include barcode grading for Code 39, Code 93, Codabar, and Interleaved 2 of 5.
FrameWork 2.7 also incorporates enhancements in color applications. The software now has a dynamic link between color sensors and inspection sensors and greater control over merged colors. In addition, setup time for the reader is reduced significantly by using a system that is more ‘point and click.’ This FrameWork update, and all DVT software; is available totally free of charge – no purchase is necessary.
DVT is the only machine vision company to also offer free classroom online and CD-based training, as well as free online technical support. .DVT attributes its success to the company philosophy of ‘Servant Leadership.’ This means putting the needs of our customers ahead of our own needs. Instead of asking ‘What’s in it for me?’ we ask our customers ‘How may I serve you?’ Agape is a Greek term meaning Unconditional Love.
