Units

For length values like object position and dimensions, it’s possible to set the display unit (meters, inches, …) used in the Pickit web interface, and the precision with which results are displayed in places like the objects table and the calibration page. Also, the representation used for displaying orientations can be set, such that for instance, it matches that of your robot.

Units settings: Length unit millimeter (mm), Results display precision slider at 0.01 mm, Orientation representation Euler XYZ, and an example orientation input with a 3D frame preview

Language settings

The Pickit web interface is available in the following languages:

  • English (default)

  • German

  • Japanese

  • Korean

Language selector set to English, with the description Set interface language

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.

Automatic detections setting, disabled, to trigger object detection on every parameter change

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.

Snapshot settings: keep the last 100 snapshots saved from the robot, and the Automatic saving check box (disabled) with keep the last 10 auto-saved snapshots

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.

Share usage statistics setting, disabled, with synchronization with Pickit every 180 minutes; requires the Pickit system to be online
