00:00:06.460 --> 00:00:09.960
Imatest Industrial Testing Edition, or Imatest IT,

00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:15.460
provides a means of automating Imatest’s
analysis modules through calls to its API.

00:00:15.460 --> 00:00:18.200
It is designed for efficiently assessing image quality

00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:24.320
in testing environments such as 
production lines or automated test labs.

00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:28.960
Before using Imatest IT, engineers
should use Imatest Master or IS

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:35.260
to specify test settings and establish
quality control pass/fail criteria.

00:00:35.260 --> 00:00:37.380
These test settings are saved and duplicated on

00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:42.900
production line computers running Imatest IT.

00:00:42.900 --> 00:00:47.600
Imatest IT’s core routines
do NOT include a user interface.

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:52.480
They are meant to be integrated with other
software that automates the testing process.

00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:54.220
With this additional software,

00:00:54.220 --> 00:00:58.060
each new imaging device captures
an image of the test target.

00:00:58.060 --> 00:01:02.440
Then, the testing system passes
the captured image to Imatest IT,

00:01:02.440 --> 00:01:06.700
which returns image quality measurements for analysis.

00:01:06.700 --> 00:01:12.240
The device can then either be passed
or failed using the established criteria.

00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:18.380
Imatest IT is available as both
precompiled executables or libraries.

00:01:18.380 --> 00:01:23.180
Executables are easily run from the command line.

00:01:23.180 --> 00:01:31.400
The results from the executables are identical
to the results generated with Imatest Master.

00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:33.660
Imatest IT libraries offer improved

00:01:33.660 --> 00:01:36.940
performance over the executables.

00:01:36.940 --> 00:01:38.780
They allow images to be passed directly

00:01:38.780 --> 00:01:41.900
between Imatest and and the calling software.

00:01:41.900 --> 00:01:43.920
An engineer experienced with connecting software

00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:48.940
interfaces is needed to integrate the library version.

00:01:48.940 --> 00:01:50.800
Using the “acquire image” routine,

00:01:50.800 --> 00:01:54.280
the Imatest IT library can automatically acquire images

00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:59.280
from all of the devices supported by Imatest IS.

00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.260
Imatest IT Parallel, or IT-P,

00:02:02.260 --> 00:02:04.600
enables parallel processing for increased throughput

00:02:04.600 --> 00:02:06.000
when test machines are able to

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.680
capture images at higher speeds.

00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:11.860
This further increases units per hour

00:02:11.870 --> 00:02:13.710
for high volume test fixtures

00:02:13.710 --> 00:02:16.050
and machines that perform real time focusing

00:02:16.050 --> 00:02:18.970
or active alignment.

00:02:18.970 --> 00:02:23.350
Supplementary to Imatest IT is
the Imatest Operator Console,

00:02:23.350 --> 00:02:25.100
a customizable user interface

00:02:25.100 --> 00:02:29.700
for monitoring the status of manufacturing tests.

00:02:29.700 --> 00:02:32.280
The Operator Console provides an advanced framework

00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:36.540
for integration with shop floor control systems.

00:02:38.260 --> 00:02:40.900
