Software Interface
1. Welcome Page
When you open PickWiz for the first time after installation, you will enter the welcome page.
| Interface | Description |
|---|---|
| Software Information Bar | The upper-left corner displays version information, and the lower-left corner displays links to Dexforce's documentation center, solution introduction, software introduction, operation manuals, and other documents. |
| Project Menu | Displays all selectable task Scenes, task types, and functional options. |
| Project Configuration | When creating a new Project, fill in the Project name and Project path. The default Project name is "new project" + the Project sequence number, and the default Project path is C: |
The welcome page allows users to create a new Scene Project, load a Project from disk, or load a Project from the case library.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Create Empty Project | Create a new Scene Project. When you select a task Scene in Create Empty Project, a new Project name is generated automatically, and the default Project path is C:. |
| Create from Case Library | Project cases for different workpieces in multiple Scenes. You can download a Project file that contains historical data and vision solutions from the case library. |
| Load Project | Load an existing Project from disk. |
2. Main Interface
After creating a new Project, you will enter the main interface.
| Module | Description |
|---|---|
| Menu Bar | Provides basic functions related to Projects and tasks, as well as features such as Menu, Camera, Robot, One-click Connection, Production Interface, and Statistics. |
| Visualization Window | The visualization result area displays 3D vision results in real time and includes functions such as Run, Vision Computing Configuration, and Historical Data. |
| Log Area | The log area displays log information in real time, allowing you to view run-related data for debugging, and includes functions such as Clear and Filter. |
| Status Bar | The status area is used to view in real time whether the Camera and Robot are connected successfully. |
| Configuration Area | The configuration area for task-related settings, including task information, workpiece, Tool, eye-hand calibration, Scene Object, ROI, and vision parameters. |
2.1 Menu Bar
The menu bar contains basic functions related to Project and task management, as well as features such as Menu, Camera, Robot, One-click Connection, Statistics, and Historical Data.
- Menu
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| New Project | Go to the welcome page to create an empty Project, create a Project from the case library, or load an existing Project from disk. |
| Load Project | Load an existing Project file from disk. |
| Open Project Folder | Open the current Project storage path. |
| Add task | Add a new task Scene. You need to select a Scene and set the task name on the Add task page. |
| Duplicate Current task | Duplicate the currently selected task. |
| Delete Current task | Delete the currently selected task. |
| Export and Backup | Supports custom export of task configurations, historical data, and shadow mode data, and supports automatic backup of Project configurations. |
| Calculate Repeat Positioning Accuracy | Calculates the consistency error when the vision recognition system repeatedly recognizes the same object position. It can be used to troubleshoot the stability of the vision system, with influencing factors including Camera accuracy and vision recognition accuracy. |
| Point Cloud Template Creation | Includes four functions: mesh file standardization, Point Cloud template creation, keypoint creation, and Point Cloud-to-mesh alignment. It supports two template creation methods: generating templates from meshes and generating templates from Camera images. |
| Set Display Background | Sets the background color of the 3D Matching visualization window to make it easier to observe the Scene Point Cloud of the workpiece. |
| Automatically Start PickWiz at Boot | After enabling this option, PickWiz starts automatically when the computer boots. |
| Language | Switch the software language. Chinese and English are currently supported. After switching the language, a restart is required to activate the setting. |
| About PickWiz | View product version information, including the PickWiz version number, release date, hardware dongle validity period, and the version numbers of PickLight / RLIA / GLIA. |
