Matrox Design Assistant for Matrox Iris GT

Have you been given the mandate to develop a vision or inspection system?

If yes, you should attend this intensive 2½ day training where you will learn how to quickly and easily configure and deploy vision applications by constructing a flowchart instead of writing traditional program code. At this training you'll also learn how to set up the operator view (HMI), choose the best analysis and processing tools for your application, and interface to automation equipment like PLCs all within Matrox Design Assistant's integrated development environment (IDE). One-on-one time with our developers and "hands-on" workshops will guarantee that you leave the training knowing how to solve real-world applications.

This intensive course provides:

In-depth training on Matrox Design Assistant tools/features:

  • Image processing primitives
  • 2D calibration
  • Feature extraction and analysis
  • Pattern recognition and alignment
  • 1D and 2D measurements
  • Character recognition
  • 1D/2D code reading
  • Customizing the operator view
  • Creating custom flowchart steps
  • Communicating with external devices
  • Productivity techniques and troubleshooting
