Benchmarking Inspection Performance

You can use the Benchmark Inspection tool to estimate how many milliseconds the image analysis steps of your inspection take to complete on the active image. The speed of some steps may vary depending on the image you process.

Note  The Benchmark Inspection tool does not account for such processes as user input, wait, and image display. These processes may be time intensive and/or dependant on external conditions. Therefore, these processes may significantly reduce the maximum rate at which you can run the inspection.

Follow these instructions to benchmark the processing time of an inspection:

1. Open the inspection whose processing time you want to evaluate.
2. Select Operate»Benchmark Inspection to launch the Benchmark Inspection dialog box.
3. In the Number of runs control, specify the number of times to run the complete inspection for the benchmarking calculations.

Note  The estimated completion time is computer dependant. Actual run times on target computers may vary from the times estimated on your development computer.

4. Click OK to close the dialog box.
