8.9 Match ToolUse the Match tool to verify that a pattern, shape, or part in any orientation matches a reference pattern. The Match tool can alsocompensate for translation and rotation of downstream tools (if selected).The reference pattern is taught during setup. A reference pattern might include alphanumeric characters, logos, or any other shapes.During an inspection, the sensor checks that each part or package being inspected matches the reference pattern. The number ofexpected patterns can also be determined.When a Match tool is added to an inspection, the inspection fails and there is a red box around Pattern. This is because a referencepattern has not yet been taught. Configure the Teach ROI as desired, and then teach the reference pattern.Example applications:• Date/Lot code inspections• Label inspections• Part etching inspections• Part orientation inspections• Part shape inspections8.9.1 Match Tool: Input ParametersUse the Input parameters to configure how the tool analyzes an image.Figure 208.
