Vision Builder Inspection Interface

[Stewy]

I have a new ISC-1781 Windows version camera. I only have the vision software tools that come with the camera and everything is installed locally on the camera’s Windows 10 PC. I have Vision Builder AI 2018.

I have a simple inspection I am only setting up the camera parameters and displaying an image. Everything seems to works good except when I want to run an inspection interface other than the default interface. The default interface works as expected displaying the camera image and a couple simple statistics.

When I go to the configure inspection interface and run one of the templates I do not get an image in the display. If I try and make a custom interface I get the front panel controls pallet. I can drag an image display on to the front panel but again when I run I don’t get a camera image in the display.

The menu functions at the top of the editor “file”, “edit , “operate” etc. are greyed out. I can’t view the block diagram or see how to connect the front panel image display to the camera. I am assuming this is like a Labview VI.

Thanks for your help.

When you configure Vision Builder AI to use a custom UI, instead of the default built-in one (from the Tools menu>>Inspection Interface Configuration...), you must then use the Update Inspection UI step in your state diagram to update the indicators on the UI. The Update Inspection UI step lists all the indicators of the UI and you can set them to either a constant, VBAI global variable or result produced by any step.

Note that any control that you place on the custom UI is available to use in steps that use previous measurements, and you can also use them to create transition conditions.

Hope this helps. Please let us know if you need additional information to use the VBAI Custom Inspection Interface. This is a powerful feature to create operator interfaces customized for your needs!

Best regards,
