BOA PRO
BOA PRO is embedded with Teledyne DALSA’s advanced machine vision software
Sherlock. A recognized leading software tool, Sherlock offers design flexibility and
inspection capabilities to satisfy a diverse range of industrial applications. Sherlock’s
spectrum of applicability allows users to standardize on a single deployment platform to
support their current and future inspection needs.
SHERLOCK EMBEDDED
Sherlock Embedded has been specifically designed for the BOA
PRO vision system. The software includes a client design interface,
installed on a PC, that communicates with the server or engine
embedded on the camera. During development, images from
the camera are fed directly to the Sherlock GUI and commands
from the program are executed directly on the camera. This
methodology optimizes the user design experience whilst providing
an accurate representation of runtime performance. A secondary
interface is available through a standard web browser for device
setup, runtime monitoring and firmware updating.
DESIGN ENVIRONMENT
The Sherlock Embedded design environment is comprised of
multiple configurable windows that can be moved or resized to
support custom layouts that suit user preferences. Windows
can also be docked with other windows or hidden if not
required.
