Run Smart Camera without Computer

Solved!
Go to solution

  What's the procedure for running a Smart Camera without a PC?  I'd like to power it on, and have it automatically run.  The software was developed on the camera itself, and it outputs pass/fail signals in a continuous loop.  But if I don't have the program brought up on the host PC, or if the ethernet cable is disconnected, it won't run--although the IMG ACQ LED does blink as though it were running a program.

 

  I have a 1722 Smart Camera.

Hi jblc,

 

Assuming you developed your inspection in VBAI, the following KB should outline how to get it to automatically run on startup.

 

How Do I Set My VBAI Inspection to Run at Startup On My CVS, EVS or Smart Camera?
