HMI Settings

Note: This feature is not available for In-Sight ViDi PC systems.

The HMI Settings utility allows you to configure the HMI window.

To configure the HMI window, do the following:

Launch In-Sight Vision Suite if it is not already running.
Left-click the device you want to configure on the In-Sight® Device Pane on the left. The list of Utilities applicable to the selected vision system then appears at the bottom of the window.
Click the HMI Settings button.

The HMI Settings window appears.
Configure your HMI window.
Click OK to save the changes.

Note: If you disable the settings, the buttons still appear on the HMI window, but they are greyed-out.

You can configure the following HMI settings:


Item	Description
Image Resolution	Determines the displayed image resolution in relation to the original image resolution. The default setting is half. You can choose from the following resolutions: Full Half Quarter Eighth
Allow Online/Offline	Allows you to set the device Online/Offline through the HMI window.
Allow Live Mode	Allows you to enter Live Mode.
Allow Trigger	Allows you to trigger the device through the HMI window.
Allow Job Load	Allows you to load a job.

Allow View Selection	Allows you to display the Switch View button on the HMI window. If disabled, only the default view or the view you specified through a URL query argument appears.
Allow Browser Local Storage	Allows you to store the settings you made on the HMI window. For example, if you adjusted the zooming of the image, the HMI window stores this setting, and the next time you open the HMI window, the same scaling applies.

The HMI Settings utility also allows you to configure the Image Result Viewer. For more information, see the Image Result Viewer section in one of the following documents: In-Sight EasyBuilder Help, In-Sight Spreadsheet Help, In-Sight 3D EasyBuilder Help, or In-Sight 3D Spreadsheet Help, which can be found on the Cognex Support Site.

You can configure the Image Result Viewer with the following settings:
