Control and Data Acquisition Software:

This software is in charge of controlling the position of the Robot in order to measure values of the field selected by the user.

It is composed of following Software Package:

Control Software Package:

1. Robot Movement: This Software Package moves the Robot to specific point established by the user and control the movement of the axis freely.
2. Field Sweep: This Software Package programs the robot to sweep an area specified by the user. The robot will sweep as many planes as the user defines.
3. Robot Configuration: This Software Package checks the status of the Robot and establishes the origin of the coordinate system.

Control Software Package:

1. Data System: This Software Package reads values from sensors and provides the position of the robot in real time.
2. Impact Warning: This Software Package prevents that the sensor collides with the studied elements and forces the Robot to stop if edges are reached.

Data View Software:

This software shows and plots measurements of the system as well as the set up parameters configured by the user in order to carry out the experiments.

It is composed of following Software Package:

Data Representation Software Package:

1. Numeric and Graphic: This Software Package is in charge of showing values on indicators, plotting measurements and elements under test on the 3D Graph. A table for registering values is also available allowing to follow the experiments in more detail.
2. Data Records: This Software Package saves parameters such as system variables and physical scales related to the experiments in a printable report. Also it is in charge of displaying the results and computing maximum and minimum values of physical scales of the experiments.
3. Calibration: This Software Package allows the user to calibrate the sensors and move the robot manually.

Image Acquisition and Processing Software:

This software provides tools to acquire, display, record images from cameras. Also it includes functions for processing and analyzing images.

It is composed of following Software Package:

Vision Acquisition Software Package:

1. Image Configuration: This Software Package sets up some image parameters such as source, format, frame rate and compression. The software checks if both cameras are connected to PC before starting the experiment.
2. Image Acquisition: This Software Package starts the acquisition of the frames from the cameras. Also it monitors if the record time has been elapsed in order to stop the acquisition and save the experiment into a video or an image file.

Vision Processing Software Package:

1. Image Processing: This Software Package processes frames and data acquired from the cameras in order to study branches of mechanics such as kinematics that describes motion of the points, bodies and systems.
2. Object Identification: This Software Package identifies objects and determines the positions of the objects by analyzing a set of record images.
