Connect to an In-Sight Vision System
In-Sight Explorer automatically detects any In-Sight
vision systems on your local subnet and displays them. The 
icon
represent actual In-Sight vision systems (for example, the In-Sight 7802) while
the 
icon represent In-Sight emulators running on networked PCs.
The name of an emulator is the computer's name under Microsoft
Windows.
By default, all In-Sight vision systems are configured to use DHCP network settings. I if your network uses a DHCP server, you can simply plug a new vision system into any active network port and communicate with it. If your network does not use a DHCP server, or if you want to connect the vision system directly to your computer, use the Add Sensor/Device to Network dialog to establish communication with your vision system. For more information, see Add Sensor/Device to Network Dialog.
You must log on to the vision system to program or view them during run-mode operation. To log on to a vision system, you must supply a valid user name and password. New vision systems are shipped with a User List containing three standard accounts: admin, monitor and operator; each of these accounts is configured with a blank password. For more information, see User Access Settings Dialog.
When In-Sight Explorer is launched, the admin user is logged on by default; this startup user can be changed in the Options dialog. To change the current user name and password, click Log On/Off on the System menu; whenever the current user is changed, In-Sight Explorer retains this information and uses it when connecting to other vision systems. For more information, see Access Management Panel.
Connecting to an In-Sight vision system (typically by double-clicking any vision system or emulator from the list of available vision systems or emulators) sends the user name and password to the vision system or emulator and displays the following: its buffered images, settings and jobs; its view which consists of the acquired image; and a status bar.
After connecting to a vision system or emulator, configure the necessary network settings, and then move on to the image acquisition parameters (if connected to a vision system). For more information, see Network Settings Dialog. Here, adjust focus and lighting to optimize features, set acquisition triggers and exposure timing, and, if necessary, calibrate the image from pixels to real-world units.
