Welcome to "How a Vision Sensor Works," a tutorial about the inner workings of both the hardware and the software of a vision sensor.

Vision sensors, used to automate complex visual inspections, are often seen as being complicated to implement. This tutorial will demystify the functioning of the vision sensor by explaining the process of sensing and the parts involved.

You should find this tutorial useful if you:

• Want to upgrade your present sensing solution
• May purchase a new vision sensor
• Want a broad overview of machine vision
