1. Open the System Settings dropdown menu by clicking on the cogwheel icon at the top of the device list, and click on Emulator to open the Emulator Configuration dialog.

2. If any emulator is running, click Stop to stop it.

3. Use the Emulator Version drop-down box to select the emulator version.

   - In-Sight 3D-L4000
   Note:

   If any of these emulators are already running on the PC, the Emulator Version and Emulator drop-down lists, along with the Configure and Start buttons, are disabled. At the same time, the dialog displays the version and type of the running emulator above the disabled controls in bold formatting.

   Click the Stop button to stop the emulator and enable the emulator configuration controls again.

5. If you do not have your Registration settings configured yet, click Help... to go to the In-Sight Key Generator web page, and follow the instructions on the page to acquire the necessary registration keys.

6. To run advanced vision tools on the emulator, including Cognex Edge Learning tools, you have to download and import a Cloud Credential file in CodeMeter. For instructions on how to import the Cloud Credential file, see the In-Sight Vision Suite support page.

7. Click Start to start the emulator with the configured settings.

   If you want to set the emulator so that it automatically starts when In-Sight Vision Suite is launched, check the Automatically run the emulator on startup checkbox, and then press the Start button.
