1. Matrox Design Assistant 4
业界首款用于智能相机和PC机的
机器视觉软件介绍

2. Overview
Matrox Design Assistant is an intuitive, versatile and extendable integrated development environment (IDE)
Quickly configure and deploy machine vision applications without the need for conventional programming

3. Design-time environment
Matrox Design Assistant IDE is hosted on a PC running Windows®
IDE is used to design inspection projects
Construct and configure application flowchart
Layout and configure operator interface (HMI)
Project is then deployed to a target run-time platform

4. Integrated Development Environment
Contextual guide for every step
View flowchart and Image, or operator interface layout
Navigate flowchart
Run and test flowchart steps
View step results
Configure step

5. Run-time environment
Deployed project runs independently of Matrox Design Assistant IDE
Interact with deployed project through
Operator View web page
discrete digital I/Os, serial link, Ethernet (TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP™, MODBUS® and PROFINET)
Operator View can be accessed remotely or viewed locally from Internet Explorer®

6. Operator View Internet Explorer Pass / Fail information
Image and annotations
Inspection results
Operator inputs
Filmstrip

7. Deploying with version 3 and prior
Could deploy projects only to Matrox Iris GT smart cameras

8. Deploying with version 4
Can deploy projects to any PC and/or Matrox Iris GT smart cameras

9. Fundamental concepts
Develop an inspection and deploy it to a PC and/or Matrox Iris GT smart camera
PC and smart camera are running the same underlining vision library (MIL) thus producing the same results
Simplifies and reduces training, development and maintenance

10. Key features
Deploy the same project on the development PC, a remote PC or a Matrox Iris GT smart camera
Capture from GigE Vision® (GEV) and USB3 Vision™ (U3V) standard cameras
A single project can handle multiple cameras
Provides native support for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows®

11. Key features
Supports TCP / UDP, EtherNet/IP™, MODBUS® and PROFINET communication
Serial communication depending on PC
Gives basic access to discrete I/Os on supported Matrox Imaging hardware
Real-time I/O support on Matrox 4Sight GPm

12. Key features
Direct communication with select robot controllers (ABB, Epson and Fanuc) for 2D vision-guided robotics (VGR)

13. Key features Includes separate Matrox MultiCamHMI application
Multi project viewer for projects running on separate PCs and/or smart cameras
Provides access to a project’s operator interface on an individual basis
Source code is provided for customization

14. Matrox MultiCamHMI

15. Key features
Includes a Profiler tool to verify which flowchart steps take the longest to run and should thus be optimized first

16. Key features
Includes MIL Control Center for centralized access to associated tools and utilities

17. Key features
Includes Matrox Capture Assistant for verifying and troubleshooting connections to GigE Vision® cameras

18. Packaging Matrox Design Assistant 4 OR will be
included with specific SKUs of Matrox Iris GT smart camera
pre-installed on specific SKUs of Matrox 4Sight GPm
sold separately for generic PCs

19. With Matrox Iris GT
Run-time pre-installed and pre-licensed on specific smart camera SKUs as today
Model Finder and String Reader require a supplemental license sold separately
Media provided to install IDE on host PC
IDE is licensed when connected to smart camera

20. With Matrox Iris GT
Project runs within IDE if connected to smart camera or deployed to smart camera
Separate emulation license allows project to run within IDE without smart camera
Provided as part of software maintenance
Requires yearly renewal
Pricing of specific smart camera SKUs remains the same

21. With Matrox 4Sight GPm
IDE (design-time) and run-time to be pre-installed and pre-licensed on specific Matrox 4Sight GPm SKUs
Run-time license (MIL) same as Matrox Iris GT plus camera Interface (GEV and U3V)
Model Finder and String Reader require a supplemental license sold separately

22. For generic PCs
Separate software toolkit (like MIL development toolkit)
To include media to install design-time (IDE) and/or run-time environments

23. For generic PCs Also to include a design/run-time license USB dongle
Same run-time license (MIL) as Matrox Iris GT plus camera Interface (GEV and U3V), Model Finder and String Reader
Additional run-time (MIL) licenses to be purchased separately

24. Target customers Any user needing scalability
Start with a single smart camera
Move to PC with GEV/U3V camera when you need more processing power, faster frame rate or higher resolution
Same project; just different deployment platform

25. Target customers
Any user needing two or more cameras for a given project
Matrox 4Sight GPm or any PC with several GEV/U3V cameras provides a more cost- effective solution than deploying multiple smart cameras

26. Target customers Any user using both smart cameras and PC solutions
Learn a single development environment for both platforms
Lower maintenance / service costs
