# Manual Align Config

Manual Align Config allows operators to manually select feature locations on images in a pop-up window when run time feature finding fails. It is located under Alignment category in setup mode. This function only supports point features and only when there are more than two features.

## Settings

The Manual Align Configuration window shows all the point feature finders in the program. One can enable or disable manual align function for specific finder, and set timeout value (in seconds) for user's operation. When the Run Time Edit Window is idled more than the timeout value, the window will be closed automatically with result of NG. Zero means no timeout for the operation, the window will stay active until user take further action.

## Run Time Edit Window

If the point feature finder is failed at run time and the its manual align function is enabled, the Feature Point Edit Window will pop up for user to select feature location on image manually.

The picture below shown the feature finder has four point features. If the feature is found, a point edit tool in green will be shown. Otherwise the point edit tool will be shown in red.

Double click one of the display to switch to single display mode:

Function | Description
--- | ---
Select Mode | Select feature which needs manual align. Change of selected feature updates image display in single display mode.
Free Point | Manually align feature location using point tool for selected feature
Intersection | Manually align two line segments to part's edges and use their intersection as feature location for selected feature
Apply | Apply manual align results to run time feature locations. Once the button is clicked, points are not editable.
Reset | Reset the operations and switch back to edit mode.
OK | Set all features as valid and found with current locations, exit the window to finish manual align. This button is available only after changes are applied.
NG | Keep failed features as failed and exit manual align. Select this option when the part is defective.
| Jog the Free Point in selected finder up/down/left/right by input step. The unit of the input step is pixel.

Here is an example of using intersection as result point:

1. Double click the failed feature to enter single display mode.

2. Choose Intersection and align the two line segments to two edges of the part.

Note: The intersection tool assumes manual align of line segments are accurate and uses no vision tool to fine tune them.

3. Click Apply button to calculate the intersection of two line segments and set it as the feature's location, and return back to multiple image display to check if there is any remain missing features.

4. Click OK to confirm the manual feature finding, or NG to disqualify the current part.
