##### Setup Time Feedback

In Edit mode, the tool will display the status and the location information of the largest blob and it allows you to link outputs to tags within the software's Global Data Service (GDS). Refer to Link Menus for details.

In the image, an ‘X’ will be drawn everywhere a blob is found, and the blob shape will also be drawn. A green outline is graphically displayed for the blob with the largest area. Other blobs are graphically displayed in yellow:

Precautions for Correct Use: Position information is normally output in pixel units, but values converted to world coordinates are output during calibration.
