		Online Sensor Control	Performs various controls for the Sensor (e.g., changing the mode, controlling internal logging, and monitoring).
		Tools	Restarts and initializes the Sensor, updates the firmware in the Sensor, recovers ROM data, prints the Sensor parameters, and displays help.
	Editing Bank Data	Setting Sensing Conditions	Adjusts the light reception conditions for each measurement region.
		Setting Task Conditions	Used to select the measurement items to use in measurements. You can select from the height, thickness, or calculations. The following are set for the measurement items: scaling, filters, holding, zero-resetting, and judgement conditions.
		Setting I/O Conditions	Sets parameters for outputting judgements and analog values to external devices.
		Sensor Settings	Sets the following: ZW Sensor Controller's key lock, number of displayed digits below the decimal point, the bank mode, the analog output mode, and timing/reset key inputs.
		Ethernet Communications Settings	Sets up Ethernet communications and field bus parameters.
		RS-232C Communications Settings	Sets up RS-232C communications.
		Data Output Settings	Sets serial output parameters for holding values.
Monitoring		Senor monitoring	Monitors the light-detection status and the measurement results of the sensor.
Monitoring		Trend monitoring	Logs and monitors the measurement results that meet the specific conditions of the sensor.
Debugging		Offline Debugging of Sensor Control Programs and Sensor Operation	Performs a linked simulation between the sequence control of an NJ/NX- series CPU Unit or NY-series Industrial PC and the operation of a ZW Sensor in EtherCAT configuration systems. This allows you to simulate the operation of signals when timing signals and other control signals are input to the Sensor to debug the control logic offline.

Note: The ZW-series can be used with the Sysmac Studio version 1.05 or higher.
The ZW-7000-series can be used with the Sysmac Studio version 1.15 or higher.
The ZW-5000-series can be used with the Sysmac Studio version 1.18 or higher.

Item			Function
3D machine models			-
	Conveyor for picking	Setting	This conveyor is for picking workpieces in a pick-and-place 3D equipment model that uses a Vision Sensor and delta robots. A workpiece is displayed at the specified coordinates in the field of vision of the Vision Sensor and the workpiece is moved on a conveyor at the set speed.
Pick-and-place 3D Equipment Model Creation Wizard		Setup with a wizard	You can easily build a pick-and-place 3D equipment model that uses a Vision Sensor and delta robots. You can select from configuration elements (such as one conveyor for picking, one conveyor for placing, and two robots) and enter the required parameters in a wizard to complete the 3D equipment model.
Calibration parameter output		Text output	The calibration parameters required in programming to operate a pick-and-place 3D equipment model are output in ST program format.

Note: This option can be used by applying the Robot Additional Option to Sysmac Studio version 1.14 or higher.

Item			Function
Project version control function			You can control a project version in concert with the version control system (Git^TM).
	History management	Showing the project log	You can see the change history of project data in a branch, local repository, and remote repository.
		Comparing projects	You can compare specific revisions from the project change history.
		Reverting a project	You can restore a project to any revision.
	Multiple- person development	Developing a program concurrently	You can develop controller programs per POU concurrently. The changes of concurrent development are merged automatically.
	Derivative development	Creating a branch	You can create and edit data derived from a master project.
	Derivative development	Merging	Changes in a branch are automatically reflected in the master data.

Note: This option can be used by applying the Team Development Option to Sysmac Studio version 1.20 or higher.
Project version control function is supported by CPU Unit version 1.16 or later.

Item			Function	Applicable versions
Setting Parameters	CNC Setup		You can register the CNC coordinate system and CNC motors to use with CNC instruction. You can also assign the Servo Drives to the CNC motors and configure the CNC motor parameters.	Ver.1.20 or higher with NJ501- 5300 / NY532-5400
		CNC Coord Settings	The coordinate system is added to the project and you can assign CNC motor to the coordinate system.
		CNC Motor Settings	The CNC motor is assigned to the project and you can configure its parameters.
		CNC Motor Compensation Table	The CNC Motor Compensation Table is assigned to the project and you can set the CNC motor compensation data.
Programming	NC Programming		You can create the NC Program by using G Code language.	Ver.1.20 or higher with NJ501-5300 / NY532-5400
