1. A method comprising a plurality of activities, comprising:
- via a coordinator sub-process of a machine vision user interface process, said machine vision user interface process comprising a plurality of components, causing a user interface of a machine vision system to be defined, said coordinator sub-process adapted to provide a set of software objects, each of said set of software objects, when executed, adapted to automatically coordinate a corresponding user interface element, said coordinator sub-process adapted to allow only a single instance of each object in said machine vision user interface process, said set of software objects comprising a device selection object adapted to coordinate a first user interface element that renders a list of machine vision devices that are adapted to cause an image of an item to be obtained, a user selection of a determined machine vision device from said list adapted to cause said determined machine vision device to be used to obtain said image of said item, said set of software objects comprising a group control object adapted to allow two or more devices of said machine vision devices to be grouped such that images obtained from all devices in a group are viewed in a same user interface.

Abstract
Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a method, which can comprise, via a coordinator sub-process of a machine vision user interface process, causing a user interface of a machine vision system to be defined. The machine vision user interface process can comprise a plurality of components. The coordinator sub-process can be adapted to provide a set of software objects to one or more of the components.

11. A machine-readable medium comprising machine-implementable instructions for activities comprising:
via a coordinator sub-process of a machine vision user interface process, causing a user interface of a machine vision system to be defined, said coordinator sub-process adapted to provide a set of software objects, each of said set of software objects, when executed, adapted to automatically coordinate a corresponding user interface element, said coordinator sub-process adapted to allow only a single instance of each object in said machine vision user interface process, said set of software objects comprising a symbolic function object adapted to, based upon a user selection of a toolbar button of said user interface, automatically disable said toolbar button, said set of software objects comprising a device selection object adapted to coordinate a first user interface element that renders a list of machine vision devices that are adapted to cause an image of an item to be obtained, a user selection of a determined machine vision device from said list adapted to cause said determined machine vision device to be used to obtain said image of said item.
