You can only develop an inspection task if you have the camera attached or use the emulator. Once your inspection program is complete, then it is loaded onto the camera and can be configured to run native on the camera on power-up or selected via the IO lines. All the processing is done in the camera. I used TELNET in VB.net to read and write to the cells in the Camera Spreadsheet. You can also use the AutomationDirect ECOMM100 modules and the MODBUS TCP protocol to do the same thing in thier PLC's.

hi , i'm a student working on a vision project using an insight camera which have to be integrated in a machine controlled by a visual basic program , i downloaded the trial version of insight explorer and i finished the job editing , but i have a basic question to ask , i have no camera available for the moment so i couldn't do some tests , but i want to know if the job is processed by the camera processor " as an embedded system " or does the camera only aquire the image and then transfer it into the spreadsheet of insight emulator , i am unable to distinguish the difference between an emulator and the camera , what i want is to run my job which aquire the image after a software aquistion trigger started when a read device occurs , and then returns the result in this device using the network, i use the tcp/ip to receive information from the spreadsheet ,without the camera i use the local ip adress 127.0.0.1 to communicate with the spreadsheet , if i connect the camera should i change this ip to the camera ip to receive information from visual basic ?

thanks for your attention
