Automatic detections

When setting up an application, it can be useful to automatically trigger a detection on every parameter change. This option is disabled by default, and is mostly useful when detection times are fast.

Snapshots

Pickit allows multiple ways to save snapshots:

  • Manually, from the web interface.

  • From the robot program.

  • Automatically, on every detection (except if already in snapshot mode). This is an optional setting that can be enabled here, and is disabled by default.

    Warning

    Since saving a snapshot takes time, detections are slower when automatic saving is enabled.

It is also possible to control how much disk space is used when saving snapshots from the robot or automatically.

Share usage statistics

Sharing usage statistics allows the Pickit support team to provide guidance when it comes to troubleshooting, analyzing and optimizing your application. Important trends or problems can be identified, which inform you where you stand in your application.

Sharing usage statistics requires the Pickit system to be online.
