Vision system for measurement of a pitch of graduated marks on a syringe. The vision system may utilize a frequency domain representation of image data to measure the pitch. Furthermore, data processing techniques such as interpolation, windowing, and/or calibration may be utilized in connection with the measurement. In turn, the pitch of the graduated marks may be used in connection with automated filing of the syringe such that the syringe is filled based on and according to the graduated marks on the syringe.

Measurement of syringe graduation marks using a vision system and related fundamental frequency processing

A source fluid inlet for an automated filling device. The source fluid inlet may comprise features that limit engagement and/or disengagement of a source fluid tubing set from a port in the source fluid inlet except when the port is disposed in a predetermined load position. In turn, engagement and/or disengagement of the source fluid tubing may be selectively allowed to assist in reduction of interconnection errors of one or more source fluid sources. The source fluid inlet may selectively position a source fluid tubing set in a fill position to facilitate fluid communication with a receptacle to be filled (e.g., a syringe). The source fluid inlet further comprises one or more mechanisms for engagement and/or retention of a cap disposed on a syringe.
