System Requirements

This topic covers the PC operating system and hardware requirements for In-Sight 3D.

PC Operating System Requirements

Microsoft Windows Operating System Service Pack / Update English German Japanese Korean Simplified Chinese Spanish French
Windows 10 (64-bit) Anniversary Update (version 1607, build 14393), or newer
Note: Cognex recommends installing all Windows updates, and running In-Sight 3D on up-to-date operating systems.

PC Hardware System Requirements

Minimum

  • Intel® Core™ i3 processor running at 2 GHz (or equivalent).
  • 1 GB of available RAM.
  • 2 GB of available hard-disk space.
  • Video card capable of displaying 1024 x 768 resolution at 24-bit color depth, with 256 MB of video RAM.
  • Network Interface Card (at least 100 Mbps) for connecting to an In-Sight vision system.

  • Intel® Core™ i7 processor running at 2 GHz (or equivalent).

    Note: 512 KB or more L2 cache is recommended.

  • Video card capable of displaying 1920 x 1080 resolution at 32-bit color depth, with 1 GB or more video RAM.
  • Gigabit Network Interface Card for connecting to In-Sight vision systems.

Web HMI Browser Requirements

The In-Sight 3D IDE supports Google Chrome™ for displaying Web Pages used to create a Human Machine Interface (HMI) user interface (UI) for your machine vision application.

Note: Due to issues in Google Chrome, displaying HMIs in Web Browsers for a long period of time (multiple days) can result in the browser window being non-responsive or the browser crashing. Cognex recommends periodically restarting the Web Browser in this scenario.
