1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. Conventions used in the Manual
This manual is intended as a clear, quick-reference guide on SVS2 system operation.
If you wish more detailed information on the algorithms and techniques referenced in the manual, the
symbol (►) throughout the text refers to Chap.17 that contains a specific TUTORIAL.
Boxed text provides definitions to ensure better understanding of the topic under discussion.
For other significant terms, please see the GLOSSARY in Chap.18.
Examples are printed in italic type.
1.2. General description
Datasensor S.p.A. SVS2 is an easy-to-use machine vision sensor (machine vision ►) offering cutting-
edge inspection features that make it suitable for a broad range of applications (such as quality control
on manufacturing lines or automated material handling, just to name a few).
Basically, what it does is compare a digital image (►) acquired at a certain instant (the "target image")
with a stored reference image (the "master image").
Once the SVS2 sensor is connected to a Personal Computer and configured using the supplied
software, it offers stand-alone (i.e. fully independent) operation. Digital outputs only operate in the
stand-alone mode and are disabled during the configuration process or in off-line operation.
