VisionView Operator Interface Panel

®
The VisionView Operator Interface Panel is a low-cost panel-mount display, providing an operator interface that can connect to multiple
® ®
In-Sight and DVT sensors and display the sensors' acquired image and critical pass/fail data to the operator on the factory floor. The
VisionView Operator Interface Panel eliminates the need to have a computer on the factory floor and provides ease-of-use that makes data
accessible at the operator level. This manual describes the connection of the VisionView Operator Interface Panel to its standard components
and configuration of the user interface. For a complete list of optional accessories, contact your Cognex sales representative.
• The VisionView Operator Interface Panel supports In-Sight Micro series sensors running firmware version 4.1.0 and later, In-Sight 5604 Line
Scan sensors running firmware version 4.3.0 and later, In-Sight 5000 series sensors running firmware version 3.1.0 and later, In-Sight 3400
sensors running firmware version 3.1.0 - 4.2.0 and DVT 515, 535, 535C, 545, 545C, 550, 554, 554C and XS sensors running Framework 2.7
and later and Intellect 1.3 and later.
Notes:
• In-Sight sensors running firmware version 3.x.x will have substantially lower performance rates and higher latencies, depending on the sensor
model. DVT sensors running Framework or Intellect 1.4 and earlier will have lower performance rates for image updates. It is recommended
that In-Sight sensors be upgraded to firmware version 4.1.0 and higher, and DVT sensors be upgraded to Intellect 1.5 and higher.

VisionView PC Software

The VisionView PC software allows you to deploy the VisionView application on a PC that resides on the same network as In-Sight or DVT
sensors. The functionality of the VisionView PC software is the same as the VisionView Operator Interface Panel, except for minor differences,
which are noted within this manual. The VisionView PC software is distributed in two different packages: a demo version and a full version. The
demo version has an automatic timeout of forty-five minutes and is available as a free download on the VisionView support site and on the
VisionView PC Demo CD that is shipped with the VisionView Operator Interface Panel. The full version provides complete functionality, does
not timeout and is available for download on the VisionView support site and on the VisionView PC Software CD. To use the full version, you
must purchase a license and install the license using the Cognex Software Licensing Center, which is automatically installed to the PC with the
full version. For detailed instructions, visit: http://www.cognex.com/licensingfaq.
