# Online and Offline States

The In-Sight vision system has two possible states: Online and Offline.

The current Online/Offline status is indicated on the status bar in the lower right corner of the In-Sight adapter.

State | Status Indicator | Description
--- | --- | ---
Offline |  | While developing your job in the Spreadsheet Editor, you can press the Trigger button (or F5) to acquire a new image and execute the cells in the spreadsheet.
Online |  | Note: You can send commands only if the vision system is in Online mode. The online state is used when the job has been developed and you are ready to either deploy or test your job. While online, the job is actively running, processing triggers, and executing spreadsheet functions and logic. Changes to the loaded job cannot be made while the vision system is actively running the vision application, performing I/O operations and acquiring images. When the job is online, the In-Sight adapter can be closed and the job can be monitored and interacted with using a Web browser, or simply left to operate on the vision system without being monitored or outside interaction, just relying on the external interactions designed into the job. If edits to the job need to be performed, connect to the vision system using the In-Sight adapter, and press the Online button to go offline.
