Scorpion Vision Software

Training Course  

Oslo, Norway, October 26-27, 2004


We are happy to invite our users and customers to an Advanced Scorpion Vision Software Training Course.

The two days Advanced Training Course contains lectures and exercises focusing on advanced features in the software. You need to know how to build Scorpion profiles to take advantage of the training. These skills are learned in the Two days Scorpion Vision Software Introduction Course and by building Scorpion Vision Systems.

Key issues included in the course are:

  • New features in Scorpion Vision Software 3.0
  • Implementing advanced Scorpion systems – tutorials with focus on TemplateFinder2, LineFinder, Calibrator and ColorMatcher
  • Extensive Laboratory Exercises - Configuring and implementing a two camera hw-triggered system, a color sorter and Laser Length Measurement System
  • Python Scripting - Handling results, iterating tools and accessing web-pages.
  • Scorpion Actions - communication with PLCs, robots and IO
  • Working in the Toolbox
