Ver. 4.0

Finally, we have implemented full-scale support for HALCON 8.0 and released Ver. 4.0.
Major improvements include
(1) A new positioning method has been adopted to significantly improve positioning errors. This is especially effective for 3D objects whose contours are unclear.
(2) The main screen can be expanded and contracted, enabling effective use of SXGA and wide-type displays.
(3) Support for Ethernet connection with Keyence KV-5000, enabling connection to PLCs with a single LAN cable even without a DIO board. We plan to expand this as a standard connection method for our production equipment in the future.
(4) Fixed a bug in HALCON 7.1.3 that occurred when "multiple cameras + external trigger" was used (may be improved by bug fix in HALCON 7.1 in the future).
The following is a list of the bugs that have been fixed in HALCON 7.1.3.
