Calculator Concepts

To solve some vision inspection applications, you may need to combine results that Vision Builder AI steps output. For example, you may need to perform arithmetic operations on numeric results output by a step to create a new result.

Using the Calculator step, you can create new results and set their values by performing arithmetic, Boolean, or string operations on results previously computed by other steps. The Calculator step uses a graphical representation and functions represented as icons to compute new results. The flow of data between the input results, the operators you use, and the outputs you create determine the execution of the step.
