Targeting of VBAI PC

Hello

I'm trying to find out if it is possible to target a PC remotely to deploy and debug VBAI inspections. A customer has the VBAI on a PC to develop on and the run-time VBAI for PC license for use in the factory. I did research on the knowledge base. Articles like this give the vacant that you cannot and you should buy VBAI for the PC that you want to deploy and debug. Is there perhaps a way to target the remote PC?

Thank you

A point of confusion we have to clear up is the long-term objective. When talking of PC or windows-based machines (i.e. PXI controller can run Windows), VBAI can be installed on these machines and run inspcetions on this machine, but we consider not that a target and you can't target a Windows computer running VBAI. You cannot connect VBAI from a remote machine when VBAI is running on a Windows System.  You can install VBAI on computers based on Windows with a single run-time license and it allows you to perform inspections, the inspection opening in Setup mode, debug inspection and change the steps, but cannot add new steps, or vouscopiezetcollezle steps/States. You have an inspection VBAI using Ethernet/IP, TCP, or other communication mechanisms and interact with an inspection that is configured to communicate with devices remote, but you cannot connect with other VBAI to control a VBAI running Windows.

For the objectives of the Vision (CVS, EVS, Smart Camera), you can install VBAI on these targets using a PC installed with VBAI host (i.e. similar to how MAX allows you to install the software for the targets from a distance). You cannot configure, create, edit inspections on the target itself... you need to connect to a target to a host running the same version of the VBAI and use VBAI Windows to control, configure, perform inspections on the target. You have configured on the target, then start inspection whenever the target is restarted, it starts a specific inspection or you can configure product selection so the inspection could change based on signals of material or the form of TCP, Ethernet/IP, Modbus communication, etc.. If you have just the run-time license on the host computer, the same rules above apply (you can start/stop the inspections, modify steps, debug, but you cannot create new metrics). No VBAI license is required for the target, when you buy a target, you can install VBAI and run inspections without the need of additional licenses for the target. You can also use a user interface customized for the control interface and activate the web server on the target in order to open a web page on any machine on the same network as the target view and control of the custom interface inspection running on the target of a web page. Alternatively, you can use the activeX control to open a connection to a remote target (CVS, EVS or Smart Camera) or a local VBAI (must be installed locally VBAI). Using the ActiveX control, you can load controls, inspections of power, get inspection results/images, etc, but you can expand or change inspections using the activeX control.

Hope this helps,

Brad

  • How to add Basler acA2040 - 180 km/kc as target in VBAI?

    I am a newbie to Labview and VBAI, which a basler ACE model acA2040 - 180 km/kc, how could I add it as a target in VBAI?

    I am also having a (F - 033 B AVT Guppy) camera interface IEEE1394, how could I add it as a target too?

    I use my own PC system, connection times IEEE1394 and camera camera link to my PC grabber.

    It work?

    I couldn't see any device detected in MAX... Or do I need any additional configuration?

    It looks like no cameras are detected in MAX. They should not be under the ports series and parallel, but under the NOR-IMAQ devices and peripherals section OR-IMAQdx. Here is a screenshot of what it looks like, and you will see a button Snap and Grab in MAX to ensure that your acquisition works well. Once you get here, then VBAI will be no problem either.

    Here'ws a general link to the installation/configuration troubleshooting.

  • Restore the Image of the camera target in VBAI

    I use Vision Builder AI 2012 with Smart camera NI1772C.  I can create target camera Image (Menu > target > create a target Image) but is it possible to restore the image on the camera?  The image is similar to PC save the image that can be safely stored and restored in case of emergency?

    Once you have created the image of the target, you can update any target of similar model with this image. VBAI launch and the start screen, select the target to update and do a right-click on the target and select "configure." On the last step of the configuration, you can navigate to the zip file that contains the image that you did to restore the target with all the image files.

    Hope that helps,

  • connect target launch

    Concern: VBAI2009, 2010 + target (EVS RT, smart cam)

    Hello

    I use NEITHER target with VBAI 2010 on a vision system. When I run the vision system, VBAI opens on the home page (see picture) but I would like this VBAI to connect directly to the smart camera (and open control interface). Is this possible?

    Thanks for your help.

    The only way to do so is to launch VBAI with command line arguments. (You might have a shortcut that has the configuration of arguments from the command line for you).

    Here's what it would look like to launch in configuration mode:

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \National Instruments\Vision VBAI 2010\Vision \config \target 169.256.0.2 Builder.exe

    You can use \pwd if you need to specify a password to access the target with the password string after this tag.

    You can use \inspect instead of \config for access control mode instead.

    You can also use \nowelcomeonexit to not see the Welcome dialog box when closing of Vision Builder AI.

    You will be asked inspection to load when you go two-mode.

    Hope this helps,

  • How do I auto detects the target using the trigger VBAI mode

    Hello world

    I had a vision system of machine ready to take choose using VBAI 2013 sp1.  Also, I use a sensor switch to trigger the camera to take pictures.

    When I type the loop running, it just won't continue to take photos no matther switch sensor triggers the camera or not.  I think it's the step that I used for the recording of the image, in the stage of registration of the image, I used picture newspaper still, but I don't want to use which is only what inspection status allows no other choice.

    So, how can I let the unit wait until he got the trigger of the alarm switch signal, and then take a picture and save the image?

    the stage of inspection to acquire the image, I used the trigger mode and everything worked fine, except the time error settting upward, I used 5000ms and if I put bigger like the 50000ms, VBAI turned really slow and showed time out error.

    If anyone can help me on this matter?

    Thank you

    You can use the diagram States-transitions to go only in a State based on the result produced by some steps.

    First, remove the registration step of the image of the State to check with you get the image

    Press Ctrl + E to turn the main view on the state diagram.

    Right click and create a new State.

    Right click on the State to inspect and create a new transition to this new State.

    Double click on the transition to edit it.

    Choose to acquire the Image - waiting time and set the condition false, to spend in this state when there is no timeout.

    Move the default transition from that State to the final State.

    Click on the new State to select it, and then add the image registration step.

    Using a state diagram, you have programmed an inspection that will record the image when there is no timeout.

    The State-transition diagram is a powerful tool to add a logic, branching and looping of your inspection.

    Open the tutorial 5 - state diagram Branching.vbai and tutorial 6 - State chart Looping.vbai for examples on how to use it.

    I hope this helps.

  • Improve the performance of application VBAI

    Hello

    I have a request, I wrote in VBAI and am satisfied. The problem is that it uses VBAI States for circle detection several times (via a loop). This causes a maximum of 300 ms extra use of the CPU by inspection.

    What I was asking is this: if I migrate my VBAI app to LabVIEW, how can I run it again on the target using LabVIEW RT?

    I'm running a smart camera, NI 1752, with clock 600 MHz and 512 MB RAM. Inspection rate required is 1 inspection per second minimum.

    My application inspects a conveyor which shows (0-8) units per inspection. When no unit is present, the inspection time is fine, but when there are 8 units are equal to ~ 1200 ms per iteration. I suspect it's because of me using machines to States VBAI, which introduced a large number of delays. I do not know code LabVIEW would be more effective.

    Thank you

    Hazim Salem

    If the initial inspection took about one second per iteration. I think there is some overhead of reference that we include in these figures that show us who actually don't occur when you run in mode of inspection and this is why there are ~ 7ms General fresh extra time compared to the sum of all stages of inspection. Anyway, I made some minor changes to the step of PM and it took off about 70ms. I also tried to use a stage run LV to do all detections of circle at the time and overlays, so you don't need to make a loop and it saves another 250ms.

    Original time ~ 1000ms

    New time ~ 680ms

    I have attached the LV code used by the step execute LV and updated control. Don't forget to copy the LLB in the folder of the target at c:\User generation live if you need to make changes, update the Circles.vi multiple detect and rebuild the LLB from the project and copy LLB resulting to the target.

    Hope that helps and let me know if you just want to while LV (that would be the fastest), but maybe the modified VBAI inspection is fast enough now.

  • Inspections running in parallel with VBAI via ActiveX

    Hello

    I would like to integrate VBAI inspections in our high level LabVIEW application. However, due to the limits of performance, I need to use all 4 cores of the computer processor. I investigated the possibilities of inspections by ActiveX VBAI running. If I understand correctly, at the same time I can have only one target connected and the target can have only one open inspection. This means running parallel inspection is not possible. Am wrong me or is there anyway how to achieve parallelism?

    EDIT:

    To make it clear, I want to talk to the local target (PC).

    Vladimir

    Hi Vladimir,.

    It turns out that it is indeed expected behavior. The only thing I can recommend is to somehow combine inspections into one (using logic in the State where machine).

  • VBAI

    Hello

    I'm building an inspection in the generator of vision OR for automated inspection. I just downloaded a VI specifying VBAI of Labview. What defines a remote target? Also how to import a folder of the VBAI inspection in LabView.

    If you run an inspection on a real-time target, this is where you can specify the IP address of the target. The drop down menu will automatically fill with all targets detected on the local subnet. Looks like you want to run the engine VBAI on your local machine. You should check the example LabVIEW API example (Local) .vi. It will launch a local VBAI engine and allow you to navigate to an inspection on your machine to open/execute/recover results/images.

    Hope this helps,

  • The smart camera target

    Hello!

    I've tried to sort, the abundance of information, it is possible to install the necessary software (CVI RT DURATION, etc.) for cameras 17xx OR program then with CVI?

    Currently, I only installed the software recommended to the target and don't see the CVI runtimes in the installation wizard. The CVI environment reports that I have the correct version of Labwindows CVI Run-Time Engine for installed RT.

    Thank you!

    You can not install a RTE of LabWindows/CVI on a smart or 17xx camera.  If you read the user manual, you can install the software below to target the smart camera.

    Manual smart camera NOR 17xx

    If you want to develop in LabWindows/CVI, you will first need to make a script VBAI to deploy it to the target.  Then, you can call the smart camera using the API C VBAI.

  • Target display mode has suddenly stopped working

    I've been using display mode target using a cable thunderbolt between my iMac 21.5 inches (end of 2012) and Macbook Air 13 inch (early 2014) for about six months.

    I had a few weeks off and had to return to find that I can enter is no longer target display mode! When I press Control-F2 on my keyboard connected to my iMac, that nothing is happening. I also tried Fn-control-F2. I tried different ports in case one of them is damaged. But nothing helped.

    Anyone has any suggestions as to why target display mode would have stopped working so suddenly? I really like the feature of double screens between my macbook and iMac and would really like to come back!

    Thank you.

    I know target Display Mode will work, but only if I use the command-f2 from the login screen. After the connection, the command does not work. have you tried?

  • I want to connect an iMac 2009 end to a 5K iMac using target disk mode. I have several related questions.

    The display on my 2009 iMac has stopped working two years ago and I replaced the machine with an iMac of 5 K. At the time I realized that it was not possible to connect the two machines in disc mode target but today I heard the Thunderbolt-Firewire adapter and started to pursue the investigation.

    The hard drive on the iMac 2009 has worked when I he turned on last 2 years ago, but I couldn't see stripped lines colored screen.

    1. is it possible to restore a Bluetooth for the keyboard and mouse when I don't see what is happening? (I removed a long time ago the batteries to store them.)

    2 do I need to use a mouse and a keyboard on the older iMac if all I want to do file transfer between two iMacs using the 5 K as the master of the machine? I expect that the answer is yes because I need to hold down the T key as I start the older iMac in order to Target mode, but could someone confirm it's inevitable? (Where Q1.)

    3 others managed to make the connection in similar circumstances, with a Thunderbolt-Firewire adapter? Is it that I have to be wary?

    Thank you.

    Will,

    Unfortunately the target Display Mode will not work with iMacs Retina display. Apple will explain TDM and which machines, it is compatible with the use of your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode

    In addition, he will explain what wiring is necessary.
