    BILLERICA, MA (May 3rd, 2007) - DALSA today announced the latest release of the IPD iNspect software, version 1.4.5.0. The new version expands the capabilities of the end user friendly software, while providing added control and flexibility when interfacing with external equipment.

    "As we evolve the IPD iNspect product, we are mindful not to compromise the ease-of-use for which it has become known, " says Steve Geraghty, Director of DALSA IPD. "At the same time, we have to balance the usual inclusion of customer requests with more advanced capabilities to tackle challenging applications or setups. The resulting new version provides the best of both worlds, easy deployment for the 1st time user and greater flexibility and control for vision integrators".

    iNspect provides a suite of machine vision inspection tools for Positioning, Measuring, Barcode reading, 2D Matrix reading, Text reading, Object Recognition and Flaw detection. These tools are easily applied using a simple point-and-click graphical interface. The software supports a range of communication options and protocols, such as Ethernet/IP and Modbus, in addition to direct connection with popular PLCs. Advanced capabilities allow users to interact and control external equipment before and after inspection processing.
