About IMCS
A scalable test executive with build in video monitoring
capability
IMCS is a monitor and control framework software. It's
a test platform to allow user to build an automation
software with the look they like and generate the test
script automatically. The software has a plug-in
interface component and test module architecture. It
has the parallel tasking capability. The build-in video
monitoring features add the bonus for an automation
software. User can use it for any purpose such as field
monitoring, record scene when things go wrong for
later diagnose.

Following are some key features of IMCS:
1. Test script generating.
2. Interactive test step parameter editing
3. Unlimited parallel tasking
4. Configurable user interface layout
5. Allow customer interface plug in.
6. Build-in video feature for any purpose usage such as video monitoring, machine vision etc. Work with firewire, USB and DV.
7. Build-in avi file recording and media file playing features.
8. Embedded test parameter setup help.
9. Automatic test result report generation in XML format.
10. Customer defined splash screen without programming.
11. And many more...
With the plug-in additional interface components and test modules, user can expand the functionality of IMCS. For example call
the external LabVIEW vi, call DLL function and call sub test sequences.
Check out the additional interface components and test modules here.
By using IMCS, engineers can concentrate on test modules development, no more worry about interface and parallel tasking
IMCS can be used in a wide range of sectors, such as research lab, production line automation, fixture testing, vision application and many more...
IMCS allows the creating of low price automation software in a short period of time
Below shows some more screen shots of the software.

The above screen shot shows that software can auto detect all the cameras attached to the computer and list them in the menu.
User can click on the menu to start, stop, change camera and video format settings or change the position and size of the video
window.

The above screen shot shows the software can auto detect customer plug in interfaces and list them in the menu. Customer
interface can be used, for example for additional settings configuration for a specific project.

The above screen shots shows the plug-in interface modules are auto detect and listed in the menu. Each interface component
is an object, user can bring out the same object as many as they want. Based on these interface components user can design
the layout of the operator screen. The "Display Manager" in the menu will manages these interface components, like size,
position and type (child, floating or embedded). User can also change the background color of the

This screen shot shows that all the plug-in test modules will be listed in the menu under the different groups, such as "Call
External Routine", "Data acquisition", "Vision" and "Misc" etc. Using these test modules to make up your automation software test
sequences.

This screen shot show the test step parameter editing. It's
interactive and there is an embedded help for parameter
meanings.

When the tests are running, user can switch to the
status mode instead of step editing mode, so that all
the running tasks status will be seen on the screen.

Additional free image analysis software is also included in IMCS for users who designs vision application. User can use this tool
to analyze the histogram, line profile, get pixel position and value etc. User can use this tool to help setting up the parameters of
machine vision application for the automated vision inspection.
