NI VIsion: Edge Detection Auto Setup

[-eye-]

Hey,

i was working with the NI VIsion Module and trying to use the IMAQ Find Edge.vi. If you are you using the Vision Assistant, you have to enter the "Direction", "Edge Polarity" and so on. And futher you are able to mark "Auto Setup", so that the Vision Assistant chooses the other options like "Kernel Size" etc. itself. Is there a possibility to use the "Auto Setup" in LabVIEW? Because when you create a vi out of your script, the vi in LabVIEW just has a constant as input to the "Line Fit Options".

Thanks for your time 🙂

Regards,

Hi eye,

The auto-setup feature is only available in Vision Assistant because it is very processor intensive and can be less robust in some cases. NI don't package that feature in LabVIEW because NI assume that the users will be able to define an appropriate edge detection range for their particular application that will be more robust without the need for those resources. So leaving the VI as an Express VI will allow you to use auto-setup for the find edges tools.
