4.2.1 What Is a Product Type?

Product Type is a group of settings which are necessary to execute an inspection such as image capturing
setting of camera, and conditions of inspection area and inspection method. Multiple types can be registered.
You can continue inspections only by switching to (calling up) the registered type if you need to inspect on the
object with different conditions.
Regarding types No.0 - 255 as a set of data, PV500 saves up to 100 sets of data in "Storage Space in PV500".
The data can be also saved in a SD memory card.
Every time PV500 starts up, it reads one data from the storage space in PV500 to the execution memory
And, it calls up a product type
Type switching, data calling up to the execution memory, and data saving from the execution memory to the
storage space in PV500 or a SD memory card can be executed by inputting I/O signal or sending a command
from an external device.
