GigE Camera products and Smart

vision applications for the VS-1 Smart Camera.
Note: Visionscape
®
V4.1 does not support AppFactory™.
When Visionscape
®
is installed, a Visionscape
®
program folder is created
on your Start Menu. A shortcut for starting FrontRunner™ is located
there. Start FrontRunner™ using this icon. Alternatively, select Start >
Visionscape > Visionscape FrontRunner.
Visionscape

V4.1 Firmware
Note: If you open a Visionscape
®
V4.0 Job using Visionscape
®
V4.1, the
Job automatically becomes a V4.1 Job, even if no changes are made to
the Job.
You can monitor, but not program, a V4.0 Job on a VS-1 Smart Camera
with FrontRunner™. Also, you can upload a V4.0 Job and save it to your
PC, at which time it becomes a V4.1 Job.
Basic Concepts
Before you do anything with your VS-1 Smart Camera, make sure it is
mounted properly and wired correctly. You will find mounting and wiring
information in Chapter 2 of the VS-1 Smart Camera Guide.

GigE Cameras or created any Software
Systems, you will see the following:
