# QuickBuild

Your VisionPro installation includes the QuickBuild utility, which allows you to prototype and build a complete vision application. You can acquire images, analyze them with various vision tools, and examine the results in order to determine the quality of the objects under inspection. Your application can use multiple cameras that respond to a variety of trigger types, or you can use a database of images.

Launch QuickBuild through the Windows Start menu (Cognex->Cognex VisionPro 10.0 Preview 2->VisionPro 10.0 Preview 2 QuickBuild) or the QuickBuild icon on your Windows desktop.

By default QuickBuild opens an unsaved workspace for creating a new application:

The Home tab offers a guide to all functionality of QuickBuild in one place:

- Selecting an image source
- Adding ToolBlocks to contain your vision tools
- Designing your vision application
- Access to recent workspaces and sample workspaces you might download from the Cognex web site.

You can undock or close the Home tab at anytime. To enable the Home tab again, click the icon for it in the button bar:
