# System Validation

The System Validation utility allows you to verify the current state of the vision system and configure system changes that can invalidate it.

You can select changes to monitor that invalidate the vision system. If a change occurs in a monitored item, the vision system is set to an invalid state.

You can set the vision system to automatically set the System Validation state to Valid if Job Validation is successful.

Note: You must have Admin role to use this utility.
