Scorpion Newsletter June 2003

Do it yourself ! - Buy a Scorpion Starter kit and attend two days Scorpion Training in June  

Scorpion Starter Kit - the perfect introduction for making your own Vision solutions. 
The kit includes a Scorpion Enterprise software license and a 2 days training course where you learn how to use Scorpion Vision Software™. 
Due to the easy to use imaging tools and the standard but configurable user interface, the course participants are able to configure their own applications, and establish communication links to control systems. 
Bring your own notebook and you will have a Vision system running during the course that can later be configured to a real application. 
No programming skills are required, but general engineering knowledge about light and lenses including some practice with other engineering software like AutoCad or others, may ease the start up phase.

In June we have training in Norway and Sweden: 

• Monday 16. and Tuesday 17. June 2003, Oslo, Norway, Invitation in Norwegian
• Wednesday 18. and Thursday 19. June 2003, Ljungby, Sweden, Invitation in Swedish

The course material is in English and we welcome English speaking participants.
