Using AutoTune Execution

You can turn the AutoTune functionality on or off through the AutoTuneDisable registry entry. For details, see the "AutoTuneDisable" topic in the PC-DMIS Settings Editor documentation.

The AutoTune button places your computer into AutoTune execution mode.

AutoTune execution mode allows you to conveniently teach illumination, magnification, and image processing parameters of your measurement routine commands for the target optical machine.

You should use this mode when you move your measurement routine from one computer to another or when you are ready to execute an offline-prepared measurement routine in an online environment.

If you are running an offline measurement routine in Online mode for the first time, PC-DMIS Vision automatically enters AutoTune execution. It needs to do this because during offline preparation, PC-DMIS uses simulated lighting that may not match the actual lighting behavior on the target machine.

In summary, you may want to execute your measurement routine using AutoTune execution when you have any of the following conditions:

You will find that there are slight differences between different hardware systems and, over time, even within the same hardware system. AutoTune execution addresses these issues.
