Question
How to move a search region by using a repeat loop ?
Answer
Here is a zip file (In-Sight .jobx and image) for testing purpose : https://cognex-envision.my.salesforce.com/sfc/p/4W000003cdWO/a/Ue000000XFrV/2.9D_WK2zJQ9r8usx6qs2lT2rFPdpFLZPovRKL79w9k
- In-Sight Vision Suite 24.3.0
- Emulator : IS2802M
- Cell A3 : Edit the OCR Region around the first string on top "19201080"
- Cell B6 : Select the number of iteration (1 to 5)
- Cell B12 : Adjust the incremental value (number of pixels between the regions) : here 65
Open the .jobx from In-Sight Vision Suite, then load the "OCR" image (drag and drop in the spreadsheet) :
- Line 19, Index 0 represents the first region on top, around the string “19201080”
- Line 20, Index 1 represents the second region, around the string “19201081”
- Line 21, Index 2 represents the third region, around the string “19201082”
- Line 22, Index 3 represents the fourth region, around the string “19201083”
- Line 23, Index 4 represents the fifth region, around the string “19201084”
All the read strings are in column “C” (cells C19 to C23”).
Only one ViDiELRead tool is used to read five strings.
