Q&A
  • When creating tool files using the ToolBox, a message indicating that files cannot be saved is displayed. Failed to open the file when collecting data?

    Do not install the toolkit on the system disk. If the software is installed on the system disk, right-click and choose Properties > Compatibility Settings > Run this program as Administrator.

  • What does AimPosition Laser do?

    The center position of the field of view can be located in conjunction with the marker status returned on the touch screen to determine whether the tool is close to the edge of the field of view. The yellow marker on the touch screen indicates that it is close to the edge of the field of view, and the red marker indicates that it is very close to the edge of the field of view.

  • Why are there two views on the touch screen?

    The range of the left and right NIR camera recognition marks is displayed on the touch screen, not the view of the binocular image on the ToolBox.

  • Light version AimPosition (AP-IND-100) Power status indicator ring is red?

    1. Check the cable connection and restart the locator. 2. If the LED status indicator ring is still red after repeated restart, please contact Aimooe after-sales staff to solve it.

  • AimPosition Does not display markers within the field of view on the touch screen?

    Connect to ToolBox software to check the exposure value, if the current exposure value is too low, the marked point is not recognized.

  • AimPosition Takes too long to power on in connected state?

    1. If USB is used to connect AimPosition, avoid AimPosition being opened before the host starts up. 2. This does not happen when AimPosition is connected to a network cable.

  • Failed to Connect the Cable to the ToolBox?

    "1. Check whether the network cable is properly connected to the AimPosition and the host; 2. Check whether the AimPosition touch screen Internet cable connection status indicator is on; 3. Ensure that the host IP address is in the same network segment as the AimPositionIP address. For details about how to change the IP address, see 3.AimPositionIP Configuration Instructions. 4. Check whether the hardware status indicator on the touch screen is on (if it is normally on, the restart cannot be eliminated, please contact the Aimooe after-sales staff to solve it).

  • Failed USB connection to ToolBox?

    "1. Check whether the network cable is properly connected to the AimPosition and the host; 2. Check whether the AimPosition touch screen Internet cable connection status indicator is on; 3. Ensure that the host IP address is in the same network segment as the AimPositionIP address. For details about how to change the IP address, see 3.AimPositionIP Configuration Instructions. 4. Check whether the hardware status indicator on the touch screen is on (if it is normally on, the restart cannot be eliminated, please contact the Aimooe after-sales staff to solve it).

  • In the marker-point tracking interface of the ToolBox, do 3D point coordinates bounce by about one pixel?

    The display screen displays according to pixels, and the coordinate display will inevitably encounter rounding when converting. If the coordinate fluctuates between 44.49 and 44.51, the final result will bounce between 44 and 45, but the actual coordinate fluctuation may only be 0.02.

  • How is the default coordinate system set up for making tool files with ToolBox?

    For files made with ToolBox (or API), the tool coordinate system is set up as follows: The center coordinates of all points are taken as the origin, the normal vector of the fitting plane of all points is the z axis (the direction is inward), the line between the origin and the first point output by the system when the first collection is in the projection point of the fitting plane is the x axis (the direction is from the origin to the projection point), and the y axis is determined by the right-hand rule. In general, the order of the points output by the system is from top to bottom, from left to right, so the Y coordinate of the first point output by the system is the smallest (under the locator coordinate system).

  • How is the order of the markup points displayed on the ToolBox defined?

    AimPosition direction Look towards the tool, AimMarker sequence is from top to bottom from left to right.

  • Can I convert the coordinates of one tool to another tool coordinate system for real-time display?

    In version V2.3.4 of the ToolBox, select the tool that you want to set as a reference frame from the Tool list and right-click - "Set Reference Frame". For details, see "4.AimTool Tool Instruction Manual -6. Tool List Operation".

  • Cable connection ToolBox binocular and color image delay is very high?

    Cause of the NIC configuration. You can use a USB converter to connect to the host.

  • What does MeanError, RMSError stand for in the "Tracking Objects" window?

    MeanError: refers to the mean error of the positioning instrument's acquisition and calculation of the marking ball's center distance (error refers to the difference between the real-time acquisition mark point spacing and the point spacing corresponding to the tool file); RMSerror: Standard deviation of tool point spacing error.

  • What does Rx/Ry/Rz stand for in the Track Object window?

    "1. The attitude of the tool (using the axis Angle to define the attitude); 2. The axis Angle is also a rotation vector (radian system), which converts radians into angles displayed on the interface. Rx,Ry,Rz form a vector, the vector direction is the direction of the rotation axis, and the vector's module is the rotation Angle about this axis. 3. Secondary development can be directly through the API provided rotation translation matrix calculation tool pose."

  • There's a half a second or so lag between the eyes and the color picture?

    The delay is about 500ms in binocular and color view due to the buffering of the transmitted data, and less than 16ms in marked point view.

  • The tracking frequency on the ToolBox shows 60/61Hz variation

    Round up when calculating.

  • Failed to install USB driver?

    1. Check whether the USB flash drive is affected by the USB flash drive, and identify it as a "USB flash drive large-capacity device"; 2. If the system cannot enter the advanced boot mode, hold down shift and click Restart until the system enters the advanced boot mode. 3. See "2.AimPosition Driver Installation Manual" for details.

  • Failed to register with Toolbox?

    1. Check whether a marked point is displayed in the marked point view. 2. Check whether the number of markers displayed in the field of view matches the number of markers in the registration tool.

  • Can I output the coordinates of the marked balls on the tool in a specific order?

    Agreed. Using the parameter information obtained after tool identification "index of points on the tool under the coordinate point set of the optical positioning system" combined with the point set data obtained this time, coordinates can be output in accordance with the order marked balls on the tool file.

  • Is the tool AimMarker to be on a flat surface?

    No, AimMarker distance design only needs to meet the design specifications, and the tool design for different scenes is not the same. For tools that cannot use the Toolbox to create tool files, you can edit tool file information by following the Aimtool file writing logic. Finally, place the file in the corresponding AimTools folder.

  • Can I set the origin of the registered tool at a certain point?

    Yes, refer to "7.AimTool Tool Coordinate System Conversion Software Instructions" for details.

  • Where is the point coordinate of the round head probe tool?

    The center of a needle ball.

  • Tool AimMarker Flashing or unrecognized?

    1. Connect to ToolBox to check the currently set exposure value. 2. If the exposure value is too low, AimMarker can not be recognized, while if the exposure value is too high, the marked ball is susceptible to the surrounding reflective influence, resulting in flicker or unrecognized.

  • Does AimMarker occlusion affect tool tracking?

    "1. For tools with 4 or more marker points in the ToolBox, at least 3 marker points should be left unblocked and the tool can still be recognized; 2. You can modify the number of matching points of the tool by calling the api function. The minimum number of matching points is set to 3, or it can be set to full matching.

  • Where is the origin/center point of the tool?

    "1. If the tool file created by AimToolBox software is used, the origin/center point of the tool coordinate system is the average of the four marked spherical coordinates instead of the diagonal intersection points; 2. If the tool is made by yourself according to the writing rules of the tool file, the origin of the coordinate system is the origin of the tool defined by yourself.

  • Is it possible to design tools by yourself, and how to identify them?

    "1. You can design your own tools, refer to "4.AimTool Tool Instruction Manual"; 2. Put the created tool into AimTools folder of ToolBoX, and the locator can recognize it.

  • Does the tool have to have 4 balls?

    Not necessarily, depending on the actual demand. If multiple tools are required in the actual operation environment, you are advised to use four or more tools to reduce misidentification risks and increase tool identification reliability.

  • Tip Register after tracking tool for other name tool?

    1. Check whether there are tools of the same type in the tool folder, such as (TPS-B4D0-001 and RFS-B4D0-001) are both D series tools, marking ball spacing is the same, in fact, only one file can be identified; 2. Contact Aimooe for different types of tools."

  • When acquiring binocular images, find that the images are bright and dark? (Other phenomena that may cause, when using the locator to obtain data, the three-dimensional point data is sometimes absent, or the three-dimensional point fluctuates greatly)

    The infrared light emitted by the optical positioning system may interfere with other infrared devices. Please test and verify it before using it together.

  • What do I need to pay attention to when using apis for secondary development?

    1. After calling Aim_SetToolInfoFilePath(), run Aim_GetCountOfToolInfo() and Aim_GetAllToolFilesBaseInfo() to obtain the tool file in the path and confirm whether the call is correct. The specific code can be referred to the AimPosDemo project 60 instructions. 2. When calling Aim_SetToolInfoFilePath() to set the tool path, remember that the path ends with a "/". After version 3.2.3.0, the AimHandle parameter is added. The aimHandle parameter needs to be initialized with 0 or NULL and then the Aim_API_Initial() function is invoked to obtain the correct handle value. 4. Any function that uses T_AimToolDataResult* as a return argument must first initialize a new object and assign NULL to the next pointer node.

  • When using USB to read data, often return the AIMOOE_READ_FAULT error?

    Generally due to the aging of the interface caused by loosening, it is recommended to use the USB3.0 interface, will be more reliable connection.

  • Can AimPosition output video streams?

    Binocular images/color images can be captured through API to generate video.

  • How do I connect my devices wirelessly?

    1. Select the wireless signal corresponding to the device number, connect it, and enter the password. 2. Binocular and color views cannot be viewed under wireless connection due to bandwidth limitations.

  • How does AimPosition vary in accuracy within the field of view?

    Under the fixed exposure value, the closer the field of view is to the center of the locator, the better the tracking accuracy and the better the data stability.

  • How to verify the accuracy of AimPosition relative distance test?

    Can be verified by AAK test.

  • What is the power consumption of AimPosition?

    About 20W.

  • What type of camera is an infrared camera?

    Area array camera.
