# Open the In-Sight ViDi PC Manager

You can open the In-Sight ViDi PC Manager by three means:

- Use the Windows Start menu shortcut created by the In-Sight Vision Suite installer. The launcher is in the Cognex In-Sight ViDi 1.8.0 > In-Sight ViDi PC Manager 1.8.0 node.

  Note: If you also have In-Sight ViDi 1.2.0 installed on your PC, the In-Sight ViDi PC 1.2.0 Manager is available through the Cognex In-Sight ViDi 1.2.0 > In-Sight ViDi PC Manager 1.2.0 node.

- Launch the In-Sight ViDi PC executable in the following location:

      <X>:\Program Files\Cognex\In-Sight\In-Sight ViDi PC Runtime\1.8.0\Cognex.InSight.ViDi.PC.Manager.exe

  Note:

  If you also have In-Sight ViDi 1.2.0 installed on your PC, you can launch In-Sight ViDi PC Manager 1.2.0 this way with the following executable:

      <X>:\Program Files\Cognex\In-Sight\In-Sight ViDi PC Runtime\1.2.0\Cognex.InSight.ViDi.PC.Manager.exe

- Double-click the Cognex In-Sight ViDi PC Manager icon in the Windows Taskbar, or right-click it and then left-click the Open In-Sight ViDi PC Manager option:

  Note: The In-Sight ViDi PC Manager tray icon appears only if an In-Sight ViDi PC instance or an emulator is already configured and running. As opposed to In-Sight ViDi 1.2.0, it no longer starts automatically after installation.

The In-Sight ViDi PC Manager dialog then appears.
