	Barcode 2 of 5	6.6	Bar Code Readers	Download tool	This tool will decode barcode 2 of 5.
	Barcode 39	6.6	Bar Code Readers	Download tool How to Use it	This tool will decode barcode 39 sometimes call code 3 from 9.
	Barcode Pharmacode	6.6	Bar Code Readers	Download tool	This tool will decode a pharmacode barcode.
	Barcode UPC-EAN	6.6	Bar Code Readers	Download tool	This tool will decode a UPC-EAN barcode.
	BCD Recipe Manager	6.6	DGH 1711 Module	Download tool	This tool contains two tools: Configure the DGH 1711 - How to Use it Manage recipe files - How to Use it
	Blob Filter	6.6	With Image	Download tool How to Use it	This tool adds an image and origin to the Blob Filter tool to aid in setup.
	Bump Find	6.6	With Image	Download tool How to Use it	This tool combines the Bump Find and Polygon Smoothing tools with an image and tool origin.
	Circle Find	6.6	Circle Finders	Download tool How to Use it	This tool will find the center of a circle using a bounding circle as a search region. The segment length is calculated from the outer diameter of the bounding circle. If a hole is placed in the search region making a doughnut, the segment length is calculated from the inner circle to the outer circle.
	Circle Find From Chord	6.6	Circle Finders	Download tool How to Use it	This tool will find the center of a circle using a line segment that intersects the circle.
	Delay for Input	6.6	Device	Download tool How to Use it	This tool will suspend execution of the program until the specified input is detected, or the maximum wait time is reached, whichever comes first.
	Fitted Circle	6.6	Circle Finders	Download tool How to Use it	This tool will calculate the center and size of a circle using multiple points.
	Helper Tools	6.0	Not in Palette	Download tools How to Install and Use Them	This collection of vision program files was installed with VPM prior to the release of the new composite tools in version 6.0.0. There are special instructions to install and use them.
	Intersecting Lines	6.6	Shape Helpers	Download tool How to Use it	This tool provides the intersection point of two lines.
	List of Line Segments	6.6	Create Regions	Download tool How to Use it	This tool will create a list of line segments starting from the First Line Segment and ending at the Second Line Segment.
	Logical Blob	6.6	All In One Tools	Download tool How to Use it	This tool is a combination of the Blob and Blob Filter tools. Additional input parameters have been added that will allow it to pass or fail based on the number of blobs found.
	Perimeter Roughness Check	6.6	Measurement	Download tool How to Use it	This tool is a combination of the Polygon Smoothing and Bump Find tools. Based on the size property, the tool will adjust various properties on the Polygon Smoothing and Bump Find tools.
	Ring of Line Segments	6.6	Create Regions	Download tool How to Use it	This tool will create a ring of line segment ROIs in a radial pattern.
	Ring of Rectangles	6.6	Create Regions	Download tool How to Use it	This tool will create a ring of rectangular ROIs in a radial pattern.
	Three Point Circle	6.6	Circle Finders	Download tool How to Use it	This tool will find the center of a circle using points found from segments.
