LumiScan VGR Engineering is the guided configuration tool for LumiScan VGR, so you do not edit the settings file by hand. You connect cameras, object detections and robots as elements; the tool shows the settings that matter, previews their effect on the live image and point cloud and suggests sensible values. It exports the configuration in the format LumiScan VGR reads. For commissioning a cell, changing a camera or gripper, or adding an object.

LumiScan VGR Engineering is the configuration tool for LumiScan VGR. You describe your application as elements - cameras, object detections, robots - connect them, check each one in a live preview and export the result as a settings file that LumiScan VGR uses directly.
