The present invention pertains to techniques for increasing the available illumination light, increasing the resolution, and optimizing the spectrum of optical inspection systems. A computing device can receive instructions for a GPC, including an instruction IA associated with a first portion of a canvas. The mounting system may include a housing having a top plate and a bottom plate, the top plate being disposed a distance above the bottom plate. The electronic appliance control also preferably records a specific series of diagnostic steps taken to verify replacement of only an actual faulty component. The graphical programming or modeling environments provide mechanisms for the handshaking configuration of graphical programsmodels before the graphical programsmodels are executed in the graphical programmingmodeling environments.
