# Home Page

Main user interface is the default interface when AlignPlus program starts. It's consisted of five areas: title bar, work mode, mode view, main window and log view.

## Title Bar

Title bar monitors hardware and system status, switches online/offline status, enables language and user change, provides functions such as image play back, etc. For more information, please refer to Title Bar

## Work Mode

AlignPlus program is always in one of the of three modes: auto mode, manual mode and setup mode. Work mode provides three buttons to switch.

| Auto mode | Under auto mode, program runs vision tasks automatically in response to commands received from external devices.
| Manual mode | In manual mode, user can manually trigger program to run vision tasks such as calibration, feature finding or pose computing. Manual mode only works in offline status. When this mode is chosen, program will pop up a dialog to confirm whether you want to switch to offline.
| Setup Mode | Setup mode is used to set up cameras, lights, calibration parameters, vision tasks and side functions(such as image saving).

To setup a newly generated program, you should first go to setup mode to setup cameras, lights, calibration and feature finding parameters, second go to manual mode to trigger the program to finish calibration, feature finder training, then come back to setup mode to save product recipe, and at last go to auto mode to make program ready to run automatically.

## Mode View

Mode view will change according to different work mode. When it's auto mode, mode view will monitor each stations' OK/NG status, and the X, Y, Theta values that vision feeds back to motion devices. When it's manual mode, mode view will show many command buttons that allows user to trigger the program to run calibration, feature finding or pose computing. When it's setup mode, mode view will show a navigation tree that user can quickly navigate each page and setup the program from up to down.

2. In manual mode, it shows either alignment master display or calibration master display depending on whether user is choosing calibration or alignment button group on work mode. Like alignment master display, calibration master display shows all stations' calibration images in one window.

- Calibration Master Display

- Alignment Master Display

3. In setup mode, main window shows each calibration or feature finding image display separately on different pages, so that user can monitor each station's images in big window.

- single feature finder display

It also shows corresponding pages if you're setting up other parameters.

- calibration parameter display

## Log View

Log view lies at the button of main user interface. It displays latest system log which tracks operational changes, records input commands and output results in the format of string.

You can click Expand button to expand log view to main window so that more information would be displayed, and click Collapse to withdraw it back to original area. It is suggested to collapse it before switching to other pages so that the latest log messages will not be blocked.

The system log displayed here is the same as Message Viewerand would be saved into .csv file as configured in Logging Setup.
